A Different Kind of RAC Role: Welcome to SMR
The RAC is known for roadside rescue : but this isnt that.
Our Service, Maintenance and 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, youll 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.Youll carry out:
: Routine servicing
: Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment
: In depth repairs youd 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, youre not reacting to breakdowns : youre delivering planned work that you can prepare for.
From day one, youll have everything you need: a fully equipped RAC van, fuel card, uniform, full tool set and advanced diagnostics. Youll 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
