What Brentwood Owners Should Know
Brentwood Water Services (City of Brentwood), buying treated Cumberland River water from Metro Water Services and Harpeth Valley Utilities District, which supplies Brentwood, reports hardness of about 98 ppm on average (range 80-128 ppm), moderately hard. Hard water leaves spots and film on glasses and builds up on dishwasher spray arms and inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.

Tennessee's Board for Licensing Contractors does not list an appliance repair license among the licenses it issues (general contractor, home improvement, limited licensed electrician and limited licensed plumber). Source: TN Board for Licensing Contractors
In Tennessee, you can check a license with the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance: Verify a License or report a problem to the Tennessee Division of Consumer Affairs (Office of the Attorney General).
