Thermador · California · Luxurytier · 2nd of 40 states
8 of the 53 businesses listed in California — 15% — name Thermador among the brands serviced, across 3 cities with an index page. That is 2nd of the 40 states with any, out of 86 nationwide. Ranked by rating, then review count.
Thermador is luxury-tier equipment, so the question that decides this call is not who is nearest — it is who can obtain the parts. 1 of the 8 listed here states a factory-authorised credential, though none naming Thermador specifically, so ask every one of them whether they hold a Thermador parts account before you pay a diagnostic fee.

Counted from the 8 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.
California holds 8 listed Thermador businesses, out of 86 nationwide. That ranks 2nd of the 40 states with any, behind Texas on 10. They are 8 of the 53 businesses listed in California — 15% of the state directory.
Their ratings average 4.8, against 4.7 across all 86 listed nationwide, and 7 of the 8 sit at 4.5 or better. 2 hold a straight 5.0, and 1 sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 3,965 reviews, the largest single tally being 1,290 on Poweron Appliance Repair in Torrance. 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 Poweron Appliance Repair in Torrance (1,290 reviews, 5.0), Green Guys Appliance Repair Inc in Marina del Rey (587 reviews, 4.9) and A Plus Appliance Repair in San Francisco (580 reviews, 4.7). By rating it is Poweron Appliance Repair at 5.0 on 1,290 reviews, Spark Appliance Repair at 5.0 on 264 reviews and Green Guys Appliance Repair Inc at 4.9 on 587 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 8 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 2 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation, 1 states a factory-authorised or factory-trained credential and 4 publish a parts-and-labor warranty term 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.
8 of them publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 2000, and the median across those that say is 11 years. Los Angeles holds the most at 5 — 63% of the group — followed by San Diego on 2, across 3 California 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.
One badge here covers three different trades. Professional-style cooking with a gas train is one; built-in refrigeration with a sealed system is another; ventilation with blowers and duct runs is a third. They are not interchangeable, and a shop that is genuinely good at one may have little experience of the next — so the appliance, not the brand, is what you should lead with when you book. On top of that sits the tier: this is built-in equipment with components moving through brand distributors, which puts cabinetry removal on the labour line and makes the parts-account question worth asking before anyone is paid to look.
Parts move through brand distributors rather than general retailers, carry the highest prices in the trade, and usually need the full model and serial number to order, because running changes within a model are common. Budget for a parts wait. Compare parts suppliers before you agree to an OEM-only quote.
Category prices lifted to the luxury tier at 2.2×, 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 California quotes.

The same 8 businesses also cover washer (8), dryer (8), garbage disposal (2), ice maker (5), trash compactor (1), which Thermador 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. 5 of them also list cooktop repair.
