A Different Kind of RAC Role:
Welcome to SMR

The RAC is known for roadside rescue - but this isn’t 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, you’ll 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. You’ll carry out:

- Routine servicing

- Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment

- In‑depth repairs you’d 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, you’re not reacting to breakdowns - you’re delivering planned work that you can prepare for.

From day one, you’ll have everything you need: a fully equipped RAC van, fuel card, uniform, full tool set and advanced diagnostics. You’ll 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 RAC’s mobile service platform

It’s the ideal role for techs who want variety and independence without the reactive nature of Patrol.

What you’ll need:

- Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent)

- Minimum 2 years’ experience as a vehicle technician working on light vehicles

- 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.

As a Mobile Mechanic at the RAC, you’ll get benefits that go the extra mile:
