Phone repair near SJO airport
Send your phone model and a photo: you get the price before the repair.
- Free diagnosis
- Written warranty
- Mon–Sat 8:00–18:00
Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) is in Alajuela, not in San José. If your phone broke on the flight, at the gate or on your last day of vacation, we coordinate the repair near the airport hotels in Alajuela and Río Segundo and plan it around your flight time. Most iPhone and Samsung screens and batteries take one to two hours when the part is in stock.
Arriving or leaving?
Arriving: message us from the airport with your model and where you are staying. If you are heading to the beach or Arenal the next morning, we tell you whether the part is in stock and if it can be ready that same evening.
Leaving: tell us your flight time. A screen or battery with the part in stock fits in an afternoon; if it does not fit, we say so instead of keeping your phone. Your phone is your boarding pass, so we never cut it close.
How it works
- Message us on WhatsApp with your phone model and what happened (a photo helps).
- We reply with the price and the repair time before anyone opens the phone.
- We agree on a pick-up point: your hotel, your condo gate or a spot in Alajuela.
- The phone is tested in front of you and the warranty is given in writing.

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.
