PanSol Service Cost Guide
From dispatch fee to parts, disclosed transparently
"I'm anxious because I don't know how much it'll be" — you won't need to say that anymore.
PanSol fully discloses its pricing basis. On average 20% cheaper than competitors, with billing rules designed simply so anyone can understand.
๐ As of 2026 · to be updated regularly
PanSol cost has only 3 components
No complex line items — just 3. You already know the estimate before you get the bill.
Dispatch fee: the cost of the partner traveling to the site (by distance·time·region)
Labor: labor cost based on the actual work time and difficulty
Parts: billed at the real purchase price of replaced·consumed parts (0% margin)
We present an estimate before dispatch. If the final bill exceeds the estimate by 20%+, we won't proceed without the customer's consent.
Dispatch fee varies by distance · time · region
