Our Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR) division is a newer, fast‑growing part of the RAC, delivering planned, structured repair and servicing directly to members — from their driveway to their workplace car park. There are no emergency callouts, unpredictable shift patterns, or 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 normally completed in a workshop
* Member advice and recommendations based on your inspection
* Vehicle safety checks aligned to RAC standards
Because SMR is structured, you won’t be reacting to breakdowns; you’ll be delivering planned work that you can prepare for. From day one you have everything you need: a fully equipped RAC van, fuel card, uniform, full tool set and advanced diagnostics. Use your technical skill and problem‑solving ability to help people move 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
Requirements
* 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
