A Different Kind of RAC Role: Welcome to SMR The RAC is known for roadside rescue - but this isnât that. 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. There are no emergency callouts, no unpredictable shift patterns and no roadside recoveries. Instead, youâll 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 preâbooked, with the member expecting you. Youâll carry out: ⢠Routine servicing, ⢠Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment, ⢠Inâdepth repairs youâd 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, youâre not reacting to breakdowns - youâre delivering planned work that you can prepare for. From day one, youâll have everything you need: a fully equipped RAC van, fuel card, uniform, full tool set and advanced diagnostics. Youâll use your technical skill and problemâsolving 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, ⢠Inâdepth repairs, not roadside temporary fixes, ⢠Time to do the job properly, with support and parts ordering built in, ⢠Clear schedules using RACâs mobile service platform Itâs the ideal role for techs who want variety and independence without the reactive nature of Patrol. What youâll need: ⢠Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent), ⢠Minimum 2 yearsâ experience as a vehicle technician working on light vehicles, ⢠A full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points No CV required when you apply and it takes just 5 minutes â it's easier than ever to start your journey with us.
