Counted from the 12 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.
South Carolina holds 12 listed Maytag businesses, out of 652 nationwide. That ranks 31st of the 50 states with any, level with Oregon and behind Florida on 26. They are 12 of the 15 businesses listed in South Carolina — 80% of the state directory.
Their ratings average 4.6, level with the 4.6 average across all 652 listed nationwide, and 11 of the 12 sit at 4.5 or better. None holds a straight 5.0, and none sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 873 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 Expo Appliance Service in West Columbia (112 reviews, 4.5). By rating it is Smith Appliance at 4.9 on 68 reviews, Elemental Appliance Repair at 4.8 on 45 reviews and Charleston Appliance Repair LLC at 4.7 on 198 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 12 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 8 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation, 1 states a factory-authorised or factory-trained credential and 1 publishes a parts-and-labor warranty term in the profiles. 1 of the 12 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.
7 of the 12 publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 1958, and the median across those that say is 16 years. Charleston holds the most at 3 — 25% of the group — level with Columbia, across 7 South Carolina cities with an index page. Between them they name 40 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.
Maytag is a mainstream American nameplate with mainstream parts support, and there is no complication to warn you about. Components are widely stocked, aftermarket equivalents exist for many of them, and a technician will often have the ordinary laundry failure in the van — which is why a first-visit fix is a reasonable expectation. No authorisation, no brand account, no factory tool. What deserves your attention is the quote rather than the brand: at this tier the repair is usually worth doing, so the real question is whether you are being charged for the right component. Ask which part, at what price, and what warranty comes with it.
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 Carolina quotes.

The same 12 businesses also cover garbage disposal (1), ice maker (4), wine cooler (2), which Maytag 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.
