A Different Kind of RAC Role
Welcome to SMR! While the RAC is renowned for roadside rescue, our SMR division focuses on delivering planned, structured repairs and servicing directly to our members—whether at their driveway or workplace car park. Forget emergency callouts and unpredictable shifts; here, you’ll have the time, tools, and support to do quality work.
Your Daily Adventure
Your day begins with a clear digital schedule, featuring pre-booked jobs where members are expecting you. You’ll be responsible for:
- Routine servicing
- Advanced diagnostics using cutting-edge mobile equipment
- In-depth repairs typically done in a workshop
- Providing member advice and recommendations based on your inspections
- Conducting vehicle safety checks aligned with RAC standards
With SMR, you’re not just 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.
Why Technicians Love SMR
- Planned appointments instead of emergency responses
- Consistent workflow without unpredictable demands
- In-depth repairs rather than temporary roadside fixes
- Time to do the job properly, with built-in support and parts ordering
- Clear schedules using RAC’s mobile service platform
What You’ll Need
- Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent)
- Minimum of 2 years’ experience as a vehicle technician working on light vehicles
- A full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points
No CV is required when you apply, and it takes just 5 minutes—starting your journey with us has never been easier!
