If you live in Atenas, Grecia, La Garita or San Ramón and your iPhone or Samsung breaks, you should not need to drive to San José and explain the problem in Spanish. Mangocel answers in English on WhatsApp, quotes in colones before any work, and coordinates pick-up and drop-off with you across the western valley of Alajuela.

Repair or replace in Costa Rica?

Phones cost more in Costa Rica than in the US or Canada because of import taxes. For most iPhone 11 to 15 and recent Galaxy phones, a screen or a battery is a fraction of a new phone, so repairing is usually the better deal. If it is not, we tell you with numbers before you decide.

Areas we coordinate

Atenas centro, Jesús, Mercedes, Santa Eulalia
Grecia, Tacares, San Roque and Poás
La Garita and Turrúcares
San Ramón, Palmares and Naranjo

Orientative prices

iPhone screen: ₡30.000 – ₡120.000
iPhone battery: ₡20.000 – ₡38.000
Samsung / Android battery: ₡18.000 – ₡40.000

Ranges in Costa Rican colones (₡), from the standard grade to the best grade available, depending on the model. The exact price is confirmed on WhatsApp before the repair.

Parts, warranty and diagnosis

About replacement parts

No replacement part sold in Costa Rica is 100 % original — not even for iPhone. Every part comes from factories in China. What changes is the quality, and we tell you which grades exist for your model, and what each costs, before the repair.

Standard. The budget option. On phones that came with an OLED or AMOLED screen it is usually an LCD (incell) panel: it works fine but looks a little duller and uses a bit more battery.
Premium. A good-factory OLED or AMOLED screen, or a battery with the same or higher capacity than stock. Colors, brightness and battery life very close to what the phone came with.
Original-grade. The best quality that reaches Costa Rica: by eye and touch it is hard to tell apart from the factory part. It still comes from China and is not an Apple, Samsung or Xiaomi part. Not available for every model.

Free diagnosis, no obligation to repair.
Screens and batteries: 1-month written warranty on the part and the labor. It does not cover new drops, liquids or third-party opening.
Water-damaged phones: we clean the board and do our best, but there is no guarantee the phone will fully recover.
Back up your phone before handing it over. Screen, battery and port repairs do not touch your data.
Mangocel is an independent repair service, not an Apple or Samsung authorized provider.
