Counted from the 14 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.
Alabama holds 14 listed Samsung businesses, out of 651 nationwide. That ranks 16th of the 50 states with any, behind Virginia on 15 and Texas on 27. They are 14 of the 18 businesses listed in Alabama — 78% of the state directory.
Their ratings average 4.6, level with the 4.6 average across all 651 listed nationwide, and 14 of the 14 sit at 4.5 or better. 2 hold a straight 5.0, and none sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 741 reviews, the largest single tally being 178 on Prestigious Appliance LLC in Birmingham. 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 Prestigious Appliance LLC in Birmingham (178 reviews, 4.6), Magic City Appliance Service in Birmingham (145 reviews, 4.7) and Service Care Inc in Birmingham (120 reviews, 4.6). By rating it is Steel City Appliance Repair at 5.0 on 10 reviews, ReStart Appliance at 5.0 on 5 reviews and Magic City Appliance Service at 4.7 on 145 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 14 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 12 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 14 publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 1986, and the median across those that say is 22 years. Birmingham holds the most at 5 — 36% of the group — followed by Mobile on 3, across 8 Alabama cities with an index page. Between them they name 44 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.
These are heavily electronic machines and they are built to tell you what is wrong. A code on the display narrows the fault to an assembly before anybody arrives, which makes it the most valuable thing you can have ready when you call — more valuable than any description of the noise. The second useful distinction is between module work and sealed-system work. An ice-maker assembly on a French-door refrigerator is replaced as a unit and does not involve refrigerant at all, so it should not be quoted as though it does. Anything touching the compressor, the condenser or the charge is a different job requiring EPA 608 certification, and it is entirely fair to ask which one you are being quoted.
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 Alabama quotes.

The same 14 businesses also cover garbage disposal (1), ice maker (3), which Samsung 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 appliance installation.
