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.

Where you’ll work

You’ll be part of the Exeter cluster, covering areas like Exeter, Exmouth, Sidmouth, Honiton, Tiverton, Newton Abbot, Torquay, Paignton, Dawlish. You’ll be out on the road in your local area, working through a clearly planned schedule of appointments - no reactive callouts, just organised, pre‑booked work where you can focus on doing the job properly.

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:
