A Different Kind of RAC Role: Welcome to SMR
The RAC is renowned for roadside rescue, but this role is different. Our Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR) division is a fast-growing part of the RAC, dedicated to delivering planned, structured repairs and servicing 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 you need to deliver quality work.
What to Expect:
Your day begins with a clear digital schedule. 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 instead of unpredictable demands
* In-depth repairs, not 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 techs who crave 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
Why Join Us?
No CV required! Applying takes just 5 minutes—it's easier than ever to start your journey with us.
Benefits That Go the Extra Mile:
*
Earnings That Motivate: Enjoy a competitive base salary with opportunities for bonuses and premium-rate overtime.
*
Opt-in Guaranteed Overtime: Choose to work extra days at £30 per hour, boosting your earnings significantly.
*
Tools to Drive Your Future: Start with a free RAC Ultimate Complete Breakdown Service and access to a car salary sacrifice scheme.
*
Time Off That Matters: Enjoy 23 days of holiday (rising to 25 with service) plus bank holidays.
*
Financial Security & Perks: Pension scheme with up to 6.5% matched contributions and life assurance cover.
*
Wellbeing That Works for You: Access our 24/7 confidential support service for you and your household.
*
Extras That Make a Difference: Join our exclusive discount portal and Colleague Share Scheme after passing probation.
Who Thrives Here?
You’re not just skilled with tools; you’re great with people! Our Mobile Mechanics are the face of the RAC, working directly with members and providing reassurance and high-quality service. You enjoy independence, problem-solving, and real variety—each job is different!
Take pride in using your technical ability to genuinely help people and keep them moving.
This Role is Ideal If You Want:
* Independence in a mobile role
* The stability and support of a trusted national organization
* Ongoing development, including future EV and diagnostic skills
* A role where giving members complete peace of mind is simply part of what you do
