R & R Recovery in short

R and R Recovery, trading as Rescue and Repair Automotive Services Ltd, runs recovery and roadside assistance from Telford and near Newtown across Shropshire and Mid Wales. Drivers train to a twenty-five-point inspection before loading, with video-call options while the vehicle moves, and repairs and servicing sit alongside recovery. Our review finds it the all-rounder for the border country.

Customers rate R and R Recovery at almost five stars on Google from a solid set of reviews. No second source sits on the record. This review reads the score as firm approval for a firm working both sides of the border.

Against that, no prices, insurance details or VAT position are published, and the limited company dates only to 2020 against a longer stated trading history. Our verdict still places R and R sixth, because cross-border cover plus a garage backup outweigh a young company record.
