Counted from the 8 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.
South Carolina holds 8 listed Bosch businesses, out of 295 nationwide. That ranks 16th of the 46 states with any, level with Pennsylvania and behind Texas on 18. They are 8 of the 15 businesses listed in South Carolina — 53% of the state directory.
Their ratings average 4.7, against 4.6 across all 295 listed nationwide, and 8 of the 8 sit at 4.5 or better. None holds a straight 5.0, and none sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 853 reviews, the largest single tally being 250 on Jacksons Appliance Service and Repair in Greenville. Rating and review volume are what the businesses' own public profiles report — treat a high average on six reviews differently from the same average on six hundred.
By review volume the group is led by Jacksons Appliance Service and Repair in Greenville (250 reviews, 4.6), Charleston Appliance Repair LLC in Charleston (198 reviews, 4.7) and Lowcountry Appliance Pros in Charleston (145 reviews, 4.8). By rating it is Smith Appliance at 4.9 on 68 reviews, Lowcountry Appliance Pros at 4.8 on 145 reviews and Elemental Appliance Repair at 4.8 on 45 reviews. Those are two different questions and they rarely give the same answer — volume tells you a company has been doing this at scale, a high average on a handful of reviews tells you much less.
All 8 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 4 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation, 2 state a factory-authorised or factory-trained credential and 1 publishes a parts-and-labor warranty term in the profiles. 1 of the 8 advertises 24/7 emergency callout. All of that is self-stated in the listing, not verified here: ask for the license number and a current certificate of insurance, and for anything that opens a sealed refrigerant system ask to see federal EPA Section 608 certification, which is required in all fifty states.
6 of the 8 publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 1958, and the median across those that say is 18 years. Charleston holds the most at 4 — 50% of the group — followed by Greenville on 2, across 4 South Carolina cities with an index page. Between them they name 31 distinct towns, suburbs and neighborhoods in their stated service areas, so coverage reaches well past the cities listed here — give your address when you call rather than assuming.

The brand decides the parts route and the labour skill; the state decides the labour rate and the drive time. Both matter, and only one of them is on the quote.
Start a Bosch dishwasher call by ruling out the two behaviours that are designed in rather than broken. These machines dry by condensation against a stainless tub instead of with an exposed heating element, so plastics come out damp and there is no glowing element to fail. They are also engineered to a low sound target, so a cycle you can barely hear is not a cycle that has stopped. What is left after those is ordinary and fixable — drainage, the inlet valve, the door latch and its switch. Parts run at premium-tier prices but through normal channels rather than a restricted account, and the machine displays a fault code that a technician can look up before the visit. Read it out when you call.
OEM parts cost noticeably more and the aftermarket is thinner, so expect an order-and-return visit on anything past the common failures. Because the machine is worth more, a part that would total a budget unit is often still the right call here. Compare parts suppliers before you agree to an OEM-only quote.
Category prices lifted to the premium tier at 1.5×, the same multiplier the value estimator uses. The line is half the replacement price: above it, on a machine past two-thirds of its life, replacing usually wins. National figures, not South Carolina quotes.

The same 8 businesses also cover ice maker (4), wine cooler (3), which Bosch does not build. That is useful rather than irrelevant: one visit can cover two machines, and a second job on the same call-out costs far less than a second call-out. 1 of them also list dryer vent cleaning.

6 of the 84 guides covering categories Bosch builds. Faults that often resolve without a call-out — and a call-out to a premium-tier machine is the expensive kind.
