Counted from the 16 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.
Texas holds 16 listed Kenmore businesses, out of 275 nationwide. That is the largest count of the 49 states with any, ahead of Florida on 15. They are 16 of the 58 businesses listed in Texas — 28% of the state directory.
Their ratings average 4.8, against 4.6 across all 275 listed nationwide, and 16 of the 16 sit at 4.5 or better. 2 hold a straight 5.0, and none sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 3,206 reviews, the largest single tally being 914 on Appliance Rescue Service in Addison. 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 Appliance Rescue Service in Addison (914 reviews, 4.9), Tony Appliance Repair in Austin (429 reviews, 4.7) and A & G Appliances in Houston (306 reviews, 5.0). By rating it is A & G Appliances at 5.0 on 306 reviews, West Fix Appliance Repair at 5.0 on 103 reviews and Appliance Rescue Service at 4.9 on 914 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 16 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 2 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation and 5 publish a parts-and-labor warranty term in the profiles. None advertises round-the-clock emergency cover, but 2 advertise same-day service. 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.
5 of the 16 publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 1987, and the median across those that say is 14 years. Houston holds the most at 4 — 25% of the group — level with San Antonio, across 6 Texas cities with an index page. Between them they name 61 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.
The badge on a Kenmore tells a technician nothing useful; the model number tells them everything. Kenmore models carry a three-digit prefix before the decimal point, and that prefix identifies which manufacturer actually built the machine — which in turn identifies the service documentation, the fault codes and the parts list. A shop that asks for the full model number before it will quote is not stalling, it is doing the only thing that works. It also means the usual homeowner shortcuts fail here. Your neighbour's Kenmore quote is not a benchmark for yours, because the two machines may share nothing but the name on the door.
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 Texas quotes.

The same 16 businesses also cover wine cooler (2), which Kenmore 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. 4 of them also list cooktop repair.
