Join the RAC as a Mobile Vehicle Technician inour SMR Division – a new era of mobile repair.
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-growingpart of the RAC, built to deliver planned, structured repair and servicingdirectly to members – from their driveway to their workplace car park.
There are no emergency callouts, no unpredictable shift patterns and noroadside recoveries. Instead, you’ll work through a scheduled list ofjobs, 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 themember expecting you. You’ll carry out:
– 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.
What you’ll need:
– Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent)
– Minimum 2 years’ experience as a vehicle technician working on lightvehicles
– A full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points
No CV required when you apply and it takes just5 minutes – it’s easier than ever to start your journey with us.
