A Different Kind of RAC Role: Welcome to SMR

The RAC is renowned for roadside rescue, but our SMR division is a fresh, fast-growing segment focused on delivering planned, structured repair and servicing directly to our members—right from their driveway to their workplace car park.

Forget emergency callouts and unpredictable shifts! You’ll work through a scheduled list of jobs, equipped with the time, tools, and support you need to deliver quality work.

What to Expect

Your day begins with a clear digital schedule, where each job is pre-booked and the member is expecting you. You’ll be responsible for:

• Routine servicing
• Diagnostics using advanced 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 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 SMR is Different (and Why Techs Love It)

• Planned appointments instead of emergency responses
• Consistent workflow without unpredictable demands
• In-depth repairs, not just temporary fixes
• Time to do the job properly, with built-in support and parts ordering
• Clear schedules using RAC’s mobile service platform

This role is perfect for technicians who crave 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 is required when you apply, and it takes just 5 minutes—it’s easier than ever to start your journey with us!

Who Thrives Here?

You’re not just great with tools; you’re great with people! Our Mobile Mechanics are the face of the RAC, working on driveways and in car parks, providing reassurance, clarity, and high-quality service.

If you enjoy independence, problem-solving, and real variety—each job is different—this role is for you. You take pride in using your technical ability to genuinely help people and keep them moving.

This Role is Ideal If You Want:

• Independence in a mobile role
• The stability and support of a trusted national organization
• Ongoing development, including future EV and diagnostic skills
• A role where giving members complete peace of mind is simply part of what you do
