A Different
Kind of RAC Role: Welcome to SMR
The RAC is known for roadside rescue - but this isn’t 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, you’ll 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. 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.
What you’ll need:
- Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent)
- Minimum 2 years’ 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 – it's easier than ever to
start your journey with us.

Who thrives

working on driveways, in car parks, speaking directly with members, and
providing reassurance, clarity and high-quality service.

different. From servicing and diagnostics to in depth repairs and reporting,
you’re hands-on, adaptable and confident making decisions on the spot.
