A Different Kind of RAC Role: Welcome to SMR
The RAC is known for roadside rescue - but this isnt 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, youll work through a scheduled list of jobs, with the time, tools and support you need to do quality work.
Where youll work Youll be part of the
Coventry cluster, covering areas like
Coventry, Nuneaton, Bedworth, Rugby, Kenilworth, Leamington Spa. Youll be out on the road in your local area, working through a clearly planned schedule of appointments - no reactive callouts, just organised, pre-booked work where you can focus on doing the job properly. What to expect Your day starts with a clear digital schedule. Each job is pre-booked, with the member expecting you.Youll carry out:
- Routine servicing
- Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment
- In-depth repairs youd 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, youre not reacting to breakdowns - youre delivering planned work that you can prepare for.
From day one, youll have everything you need: a fully equipped RAC van, fuel card, uniform, full tool set and advanced diagnostics. Youll use your technical 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 RACs mobile service platform
Its the ideal role for techs who want variety and independence without the reactive nature of Patrol.
