Join the RAC as a Mobile Vehicle Technician in our SMR Division - a new era of mobile repair.
A Different Kind of RAC Role:Welcome to SMR
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- 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’re delivering planned work that 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. You’ll 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
It’s the ideal role for techs who want variety and independence without the reactive 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 light vehicles
- A full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points
- Competitive base salary of £40,178, with on‑target earnings up to £52,000, plus guaranteed overtime to increase your base to £44,385.
- Optional guaranteed overtime: work extra rest days at £30 per hour, potentially adding up to £5,000 per year.
- Fully equipped van, fuel card, uniform, full tool set and advanced diagnostics.
- 23 days holiday (rising to 25 with service) plus bank holidays; paid family leave and flexible schedules.
- Pension scheme with up to 6.5% matched contributions; life assurance cover up to 4× salary (10× optional with flex benefits).
- 24/7 confidential wellbeing support service for you and household members aged 16+.
- Access to discount portal and colleague share scheme after probation.
You’re more than just great with tools – you’re great with people. Our Mobile Mechanics 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 take pride in using your technical ability to genuinely help people and keep them moving.
Therole is ideal if you want
- 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
