A Different Kind of RAC Role: Welcome to\nSMR 
\nThe RAC is known for roadside rescue - but this isn’t that. 
\n
\nOur Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR) division is a newer, fast-growing\npart of the RAC, built to deliver planned, structured repair and servicing\ndirectly to members - from their driveway to their workplace car park. 
\n
\nThere are no emergency callouts, no unpredictable shift patterns and no\nroadside recoveries. Instead, you’ll work through a scheduled list of\njobs, with the time, tools and support you need to do quality work. 

\nYour day starts with a clear digital schedule. Each job is pre‑booked, with the\nmember expecting you. You’ll carry out: 
\n
\n- Routine servicing 
\n- Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment 
\n- In‑depth repairs you’d normally complete in a workshop 
\n- Member advice and recommendations based on your inspection 
\n- Vehicle safety checks aligned to RAC standards 
\n
\nAnd because SMR is structured, you’re not reacting to breakdowns - you’re\ndelivering planned work that you can prepare for. 
\n
\nFrom day one, you’ll have everything you need: a fully equipped RAC van, fuel\ncard, uniform, full tool set and advanced diagnostics. You’ll use your\ntechnical skill and problem‑solving ability to get people moving again; safely,\nquickly and confidently.  
\n
\n 
\nWhy SMR is different (and why techs love it) 
\n- Planned appointments instead of emergency responses 
\n- Consistent workflow instead of unpredictable demands 
\n- In‑depth repairs, not roadside temporary fixes 
\n- Time to do the job properly, with support and parts ordering built in 
\n- Clear schedules using RAC’s mobile service platform 
\n
\nIt’s the ideal role for techs who want variety and independence without the\nreactive nature of Patrol. 

\nWhat you’ll need: 
\n- Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent) 
\n- Minimum 2 years’ experience as a vehicle technician working on light\nvehicles 
\n- A full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points 

No CV required when you apply and it takes just\n5 minutes – it's easier than ever to start your journey with us.
