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:

Opt-in Guaranteed Overtime

Who thrives here?
You’re more than just great with tools -
you’re great with people. Our Mobile Mechanics are the face of the
RAC: working on driveways, in car parks, speaking directly with
members, and 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

keep them moving.
The role is ideal if you
want: ✔ Independence in a mobile
role ✔ The stability
and support of a trusted national
