Counted from the 13 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.
Missouri holds 13 listed LG businesses, out of 647 nationwide. That ranks 26th of the 50 states with any, level with Maryland and behind Florida on 27. They are 13 of the 16 businesses listed in Missouri — 81% of the state directory.
Their ratings average 4.6, level with the 4.6 average across all 647 listed nationwide, and 10 of the 13 sit at 4.5 or better. None holds a straight 5.0, and none sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 1,332 reviews, the largest single tally being 271 on Able Appliance Repair in Kansas City. 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 Able Appliance Repair in Kansas City (271 reviews, 4.4), All American Appliance Services LLC in Saint Louis (223 reviews, 4.7) and KC Appliance Repair in Kansas City (198 reviews, 4.6). By rating it is Gateway Appliance Service at 4.9 on 178 reviews, Heartland Appliance Service at 4.8 on 156 reviews and ASAP Appliance Repair at 4.8 on 38 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 13 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 4 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation and 2 state a factory-authorised or factory-trained credential in the profiles. None advertises round-the-clock emergency cover, but 1 advertises 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.
6 of the 13 publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 1983, and the median across those that say is 28 years. Kansas City holds the most at 7 — 54% of the group — followed by St. Louis on 5, across 3 Missouri cities with an index page. Between them they name 37 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.
LG builds its laundry and refrigeration around inverter-driven motors and compressors, and that changes where faults live. A direct-drive washer has no belt and no conventional transmission — the motor turns the drum — so a drum that will not move points at the rotor, the hall sensor or the drive board rather than at anything you can fix with a belt. Refrigeration uses a variable-speed compressor rather than one that simply switches on and off. The useful consequence for you is that these machines report their own faults: a code on the display narrows the circuit before anyone arrives, and it is the single most valuable thing you can have ready when you call.
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 Missouri quotes.

The same 13 businesses also cover garbage disposal (2), ice maker (3), wine cooler (1), range hood (1), which LG 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. 2 of them also list electrical repair.
