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.

Each job is preβbooked, with the member expecting you. Youβll carry out: β’ Routine servicing, β’ Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment, β’ Inβdepth repairs youβd normally complete in a workshop, β’ Member advice and recommendations based on your inspection, β’ Vehicle safety checks aligned to RAC standards And because SMR is structured, youβre not reacting to breakdowns - youβre delivering planned work that you can prepare for. From day one, youβll have everything you need: a fully equipped RAC van, fuel card, uniform, full tool set and advanced diagnostics. Youβll use your technical skill and problemβsolving ability to get people moving again; safely, quickly and confidently. Why SMR is different (and why techs love it) β’ Planned appointments instead of emergency responses, β’ Consistent workflow instead of unpredictable demands, β’ Inβdepth repairs, not roadside temporary fixes, β’ Time to do the job properly, with support and parts ordering built in, β’ Clear schedules using RACβs mobile service platform Itβs the ideal role for techs who want variety and independence without the reactive nature of Patrol.
