About the SMR Division

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 normally complete in a workshop, member advice and recommendations based on your inspection, and vehicle safety checks aligned to RAC standards.

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.

• 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

• Routine servicing of light vehicles
• Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment
• In‑depth repairs typically completed in a workshop

• A full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points

You’ll be more than great with tools – you’ll be great with people. Our Mobile Mechanics are the face of the RAC: speaking directly with members, providing reassurance, clarity and high‑quality service.

You enjoy independence, problem‑solving and real variety – each job is different. From servicing and diagnostics to in‑depth repairs and reporting, you’re hands‑on, adaptable and confident making decisions on the spot. You take pride in using your technical ability to genuinely help people and keep them moving.

The role is ideal if you want:

• Independence in a mobile role
• Stability and support from a trusted national organisation
• Ongoing development, including future EV and diagnostic skills
• A role where giving members complete peace of mind is simply part of what you do
