A Different Kind of RAC Role
Welcome to SMR! Unlike traditional roadside rescue, our division focuses on delivering planned, structured repairs and servicing directly to our members—whether at their driveway or workplace car park. Say goodbye to emergency callouts and unpredictable shifts!
Your Daily Adventure Awaits

- Routine servicing
- Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment
- In-depth repairs typically done in a workshop

- Conducting vehicle safety checks aligned with RAC standards
With everything you need from day one—a fully equipped RAC van, fuel card, uniform, and advanced diagnostics—you’ll have the tools to get people moving safely and confidently.
Why Technicians Love SMR
