Even here in the nations capital you can not get decent reasonable cost service on ANY foreign brand, The good servicers listed in Angies List and Consumers Check Book generally not touch any of them. L G and Sam-sung have been among the worst. When I go to our appliance disturbers ever week you would not believe all the LGs, SSs, Bosches, and yes even Meiles machines that are not anywhere close to ten years old waiting to be crushed. Where as most of the domestic brands are 10-25 years old.
