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 expectYour 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
