A Different Kind of RAC Role: Welcome to SMR
The RAC is renowned for roadside rescue, but our Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR) division is a fresh, fast-growing segment dedicated to delivering planned, structured repairs directly to our members—right from their driveway to their workplace car park.
Forget emergency callouts and unpredictable shifts! Here, you’ll work through a scheduled list of jobs, equipped with the time, tools, and support to perform quality work.
What to Expect
Your day begins with a clear digital schedule, where each job is pre-booked and the member is expecting you. You’ll carry out:
* Routine servicing
* Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment
* In-depth repairs typically done in a workshop
* Member advice and recommendations based on your inspections
* Vehicle safety checks aligned with RAC standards
With SMR, 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.
Why SMR is Different (and Why Techs Love It)
* Planned appointments instead of emergency responses
* Consistent workflow without unpredictable demands
* In-depth repairs, not just roadside temporary fixes
* Time to do the job properly, with built-in support and parts ordering
* Clear schedules using RAC’s mobile service platform
This role is perfect for technicians who crave variety and independence without the reactive nature of traditional patrol work.
What You’ll Need
* Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent)
* Minimum of 2 years’ experience as a vehicle technician working on light vehicles
* A full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points
