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. - 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.
