SMR Mobile Vehicle Technician – Role Overview
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. From day one, you’ll have everything you need: a fully equipped RAC van, fuel card, uniform, full tool set and advanced diagnostics.
Key Responsibilities
- Routine servicing
- Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment
- In‑depth repairs normally completed in a workshop
- Member advice and recommendations based on your inspection
- Vehicle safety checks aligned to RAC standards
Why SMR is Different
- 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
Qualifications
- 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
Desired Skills
You’re more than just great with tools – you’re great with people. You enjoy independence, problem solving and real variety; each job is different. You’re hands‑on, adaptable and confident making decisions on the spot, and you take pride in using your technical ability to genuinely help people and keep them moving.
