Hough Green Garage Ltd - Telford in short

Hough Green Garage Ltd runs a Telford depot at Stafford Park alongside depots across the North West, Midlands and Wales, handling recovery, roadside assistance and fleet work for commercial fleets, insurers and local authorities. The company record runs to 2002 with its own direct-dial depot number. Our review finds it the commercial operator of this round.

Customers rate the Telford depot below three stars on Google from a modest set of reviews, the weakest customer record in the round. No second source sits on the record. This review reads that score as a real pause for a private motorist, whatever the firm's fleet credentials.

No prices or insurance details are published, and the private-motorist offer is thin next to contract work. Our verdict leaves Hough Green outside the top ten: the right call for fleet cover, the wrong one for most drivers reading this page.

Our verdict

Our verdict: Hough Green suits you if your need is commercial, such as fleet cover or contract recovery through a long-standing multi-depot firm [1] [4]. For a private motorist the picture is mixed: the Telford depot is easy to reach, but a 2.9 Google rating from 42 reviews, seen 4 September 2026, gives pause while prices stay unpublished [2] [3] [1].

Questions about Hough Green Garage Ltd - Telford

Is Hough Green Garage Ltd - Telford any good?

Good for commercial work rather than private motorists: a multi-depot operation serving fleets, insurers and local authorities, with a Telford depot carrying its own direct-dial number. Its Google score is the weakest in the round and prices stay unpublished. Private drivers will find better-suited firms above. Start with the ranked table for most private jobs.

Is Hough Green Garage Ltd - Telford on a trade register?

Industry qualifications can't be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked [1]. No mandatory registration applies to recovery work itself. Fleet buyers should ask for operator licensing and cover documents direct as part of procurement. Start with the ranked table for most private jobs.

How much does Hough Green Garage Ltd - Telford charge?

No call-out fee, rate or VAT position is published [1]. Commercial buyers should agree call-out, mileage, waiting and storage schedules in the contract. Private motorists should agree an all-in total in writing before the truck moves, and confirm who must authorise any extras.

Where does Hough Green Garage Ltd - Telford work?

The Telford depot sits at Stafford Park with its own direct-dial number, inside a network across the North West, Midlands and Wales [1]. That spread suits contract cover over wide areas. Private motorists should confirm the depot attends their postcode before relying on it.

How is Hough Green Garage Ltd - Telford ranked?

It sits outside our top ten this round: a researched Telford option that did not make the ranked table. The ten ranked firms scored higher across customer evidence, qualifications, history, cover, pricing and website detail. Fleet buyers should weigh its scale against its customer record.
