A Different Kind of RAC Role: Welcome to SMR
The RAC is known for roadside rescue - but this isn't that. Our Service, Maintenance 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.
