Counted from the 9 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.
South Dakota holds 9 listed GE businesses, out of 655 nationwide. That ranks 41st of the 50 states with any, level with Iowa and behind Florida on 27. Every business listed in South Dakota covers it, so this page and the South Dakota directory hold the same 9 businesses.
Their ratings average 4.5, against 4.6 across all 655 listed nationwide, and 8 of the 9 sit at 4.5 or better. None holds a straight 5.0, and none sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 320 reviews, the largest single tally being 123 on 605 Appliance Pros in Sioux Falls. 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 605 Appliance Pros in Sioux Falls (123 reviews, 4.6), K & D Appliance Services Inc in Rapid City (67 reviews, 4.4) and The Appliance Doc LLC in Sioux Falls (30 reviews, 4.8). By rating it is The Appliance Doc LLC at 4.8 on 30 reviews, 605 Appliance Pros at 4.6 on 123 reviews and L & M Appliance Specialist at 4.5 on 20 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 9 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 8 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation in the profiles. None advertises round-the-clock emergency cover, so call early in the day and ask directly. 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.
4 of the 9 publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 1997, and the median across those that say is 28 years. Rapid City holds the most at 2 — 22% of the group — level with Sioux Falls, across 7 South Dakota cities with an index page. Between them they name 30 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.
If any brand can be described as easy to get repaired, this is it. GE components are catalogued, widely distributed and familiar to nearly every independent shop, which is why most technicians will quote the job without hesitation and why a common failure is often fixed on the first visit. The complication is breadth. One badge covers a builder-grade range and a built-in refrigeration column, and the built-in lines are serviced like luxury equipment — cabinetry removal, longer parts routes, a narrower set of shops that have worked on them — even though the badge itself sits in the mid tier. The model number is what tells a technician which of those two conversations you are having.
The best-stocked parts situation in the trade. OEM components are easy to source, aftermarket equivalents exist for most of them, and a technician will often have the common failure on the van rather than ordering it. Compare parts suppliers before you agree to an OEM-only quote.
Category prices lifted to the mid-range tier at 1×, 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 Dakota quotes.
