ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

SERVICIOS ELECTRONICAS "DIAZ" - Electronics Repair, Appliance Repair (large & small) & Computer Repair & Sales in Costa Rica 1


SERVICIOS ELECTRONICOS "DIAZ" EMDIMON
After NOT having lots of success getting things repaired (ESPECIALLY DVD Players it seemed) over my nearly 9 years living in Costa Rica, I finally found Electronicas Diaz and let me tell you -
THEY'RE THE BEST I've found so far!! 
Plus MANY have shared their similar experiences with me
!!  They've become my #1 place for repairing most of your electrical chachkee and appliance things and more.


AND they now have 5 LOCATIONS!!
Santa Ana and Grecia are their main REPAIR centers
and
Alajuela, Ciudad Colon and Pozos de Santa Ana (aka Lindora) are Drop Off/Pick Up points!!



They can help repair everything from:
Blenders (they've even fixed my friends Magic Bullet she thought was toast)
Clock Radio
Coffee Makers
Computers
Digital Cameras
Discman
DVD players (I've found a few locations that will take it to repair and they say it's not worth the repair and charged me 4,000 or so and then I have taken it to Diaz and they fixed with just fine!)
Electric Shavers
Electric Toothbrushes
Emergency Light
Fans
Faxes
Food Processors
Fryers
Hair Dryers / Blow Dryers
Home Theater units
Irons
Magic Bullets (YEAHH!!  A friend recently took her's there thinking no one could fix it in CR and sure enough - MIRACLE workers!!)

Medical and Fisioterapia•Physical Therapy Equipment

Microwave Ovens
MP3s, MP4s

Plasma Displays
Projectors
Radio Cassettes
Remote Controls

Sound Equipment
Speakers
Toaster Ovens
TV
TV/DVD Players
TV/Radio Players
TV - Big Screen (they even can come to YOU and make a HOUSE CALL!!)
TV - LCD
TV - Plasma
Vacuum Cleaners
VCR / VHS
Video Projectors with LCD technology
Walkman


They can a bit more expensive and can take longer (because they’re so popular/busy), but if you REALLY want something to get fixed, so far I have just about always been able to count on them - even when others said they couldn't help you!  

ENGLISH SPEAKING  -  For years I've been going to the Santa Ana store and never found anyone that spoke English, but I thought I'd give it one more try and the last time I found DIEGO (that's him in the picture below with my good bud Diane!) who at first said his English was “so-so” but do NOT let that fool you as he spoke QUITE GOOD ENGLISH and thanks to him I was able to find out that Servicios Electronicos was SOOO MUCH more than just repairing electronic goods (including MANY that others wouldn’t/couldn’t touch)!

They also can do Express•make House Calls•Home Visits (for a fee of course) - great for those massive tvs and things some have!!

NOW they're also doing APPLIANCE REPAIRS like washer/dryers, fridges,stoves.

PLUS they're also now selling NEW APPLIANCES as well as the used ones they sell upstairs!

AND they're doing PC COMPUTER REPAIRS and sales (plus have accessories for sale - everything from Keyboards, Mouse, Webcams, Speakers, CDRW, DVD +/-R+.
