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 
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 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 

No CV required when you apply and it takes just 5 minutes – it's easier than ever to start your journey with us.

As a Mobile Mechanic at the RAC, you’ll get benefits that go the extra mile:

• Earnings That Motivate  - enjoy a market-competitive base salary of £45,370, with the opportunity to increase your earnings up to £57,000 through bonuses and premium-rate overtime. A full-time 40-hour week, with Monday–Saturday availability (8am–8pm), offers flexibility and stability
• Opt-in Guaranteed Overtime -  after your first month, you can choose to work extra rest days at £30 per hour. Just one extra day a month could earn you £3,000 more per year on top of your base salary. Two extra days could give you an extra £5,000. It's your choice - more flexibility, more reward.
• Tools to Drive Your Future -  get started with a free RAC Ultimate Complete Breakdown Service from day one, plus access to a car salary sacrifice scheme (including electric vehicle options) after 12 months, delivering serious tax savings.
• Time Off That Matters -  enjoy 23 days of holiday (rising to 25 with service), plus bank holidays. We also support work-life balance with paid family leave, flexible schedules, and practical resources to help navigate personal commitments.
• Financial Security & Perks -  pension scheme with up to 6.5% matched contributions alongside life assurance cover up to 4x salary (10x optional with flex benefits), designed to support you long-term.
• Wellbeing That Works for You  - our 24/7 confidential support service is available to you and household members aged 16+, offering reassurance whenever you need it.
• Extras That Make a Difference  - access Orange Savings, our exclusive discount portal with deals across top retailers, holidays, tools, tech and more. After passing probation, you’ll automatically join our Colleague Share Scheme, giving you a stake in our collective success.

Who thrives here? 
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’re hands-on, adaptable and confident making decisions on the spot. 
You take pride in using your technical ability to genuinely help people and keep them moving. 

The role 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 simply part of what you do
