About the role
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. You’ll carry out:
* Routine servicing
* Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment
* In‑depth repairs typically completed in a workshop
* Member advice and recommendations based on your inspection
* Vehicle safety checks aligned to RAC standards
Because SMR is structured, you’re not reacting to breakdowns—you’re delivering planned work 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. 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 RAC’s mobile service platform
Qualifications
* Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent)
* Minimum 2 years’ experience as a light vehicle technician
* A full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points
Skills & qualities
You are more than just great with tools—you are great with people. As a Mobile Mechanic, you are the face of the RAC: working on driveways, in car parks, speaking directly with members and providing reassurance, clarity and high‑quality service.
You enjoy independence, problem solving and real variety—each job is different. From servicing and diagnostics to in‑depth repairs and reporting, you’re hands‑on, adaptable and confident, making decisions on the spot.
What we’re looking for
* Independence in a mobile role
* The stability and support of a trusted national organisation
* Ongoing development, including future EV and diagnostic skills
* A role where giving members complete peace of mind is part of what you do
