A Different Kind of RAC Role: Welcome to SMR The RAC is known for roadside rescue - but this isnโt 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, youโll work through a scheduled list of jobs, with the time, tools and support you need to do quality work. Where youโll work Youโll be part of the Bromley cluster, covering areas like Bromley, Orpington, Beckenham, Chislehurst, Sidcup, Eltham, Woolwich, Greenwich, Lewisham, Peckham, Camberwell. Youโll be out on the road in your local area, working through a clearly planned schedule of appointments - no reactive callouts, just organised, preโbooked work where you can focus on doing the job properly. What to expect Your day starts with a clear digital schedule. Each job is preโbooked, with the member expecting you. Youโll carry out: โข Routine servicing, โข Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment, โข Inโdepth repairs youโd normally complete in a workshop, โข Member advice and recommendations based on your inspection, โข Vehicle safety checks aligned to RAC standards And because SMR is structured, youโre not reacting to breakdowns - youโre delivering planned work that you can prepare for. From day one, youโll have everything you need: a fully equipped RAC van, fuel card, uniform, full tool set and advanced diagnostics. Youโll use your technical skill and problemโsolving ability to get people moving again; safely, quickly and confidently. Why SMR is different (and why techs love it) โข Planned appointments instead of emergency responses, โข Consistent workflow instead of unpredictable demands, โข Inโdepth repairs, not roadside temporary fixes, โข Time to do the job properly, with support and parts ordering built in, โข Clear schedules using RACโs mobile service platform Itโs the ideal role for techs who want variety and independence without the reactive nature of Patrol.
