A Different Kind of RAC Role:
Welcome to SMR
The RAC is known for roadside rescue - but this isnt that.
Our Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR) division is a newer, fast-growing part of the RAC, built to deliver planned, structured repair and servicing directly to members - from their driveway to their workplace car park.
There are no emergency callouts, no unpredictable shift patterns and no roadside recoveries.
Instead, youll work through a scheduled list of jobs, with the time, tools and support you need to do quality work.
What to expect
Your day starts with a clear digital schedule. Each job is pre-booked, with the member expecting you.
Youll carry out:
- Routine servicing
- Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment
- In-depth repairs youd normally complete in a workshop
- Member advice and recommendations based on your inspection
- Vehicle safety checks aligned to RAC standards
And because SMR is structured, youre not reacting to breakdowns - youre delivering planned work that you can prepare for.
From day one, youll have everything you need: a fully equipped RAC van, fuel card, uniform, full tool set and advanced diagnostics. Youll use your technical skill and problem-solving ability to get people moving again; safely, quickly and confidently.
Why SMR is different (and why techs love it)
- Planned appointments instead of emergency responses
- Consistent workflow instead of unpredictable demands
- In-depth repairs, not roadside temporary fixes
- Time to do the job properly, with support and parts ordering built in
- Clear schedules using RACs mobile service platform
Its the ideal role for techs who want variety and independence without the reactive nature of Patrol.
What youll need
Either:
NVQ Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent) with 2+ years experience
or
5+ years experience as a Vehicle Technician/Mechanic
and
A full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points
No CV required when you apply and it takes just 5 minutes it's easier than ever to start your journey with us.
