A Different Kind of RAC Role: Welcome toSMR

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.

What to expect

Your day starts with a clear digital schedule. Each job is pre‑booked, with the member expecting you.

• 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’redelivering planned work that you can prepare for.

From day one, you’ll have everything you need: a fully equipped RAC van, fuelcard, uniform, full tool set and advanced diagnostics. You’ll use yourtechnical 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 thereactive nature of Patrol.
