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.

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.
