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
