Mobile Vehicle Technician
Join the RAC as a Mobile Vehicle Technician in Our SMR Division!
Welcome to a new era of mobile repair! At the RAC, we’re not just about roadside rescue anymore. Our Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR) division is a fast-growing team dedicated to delivering planned, structured repair and servicing directly to our members—right from their driveway to their workplace car park.
Your Role and Responsibilities
As a Mobile Vehicle Technician, you’ll enjoy:
- Routine servicing of vehicles
- Advanced diagnostics using cutting-edge mobile equipment
- In-depth repairs typically done in a workshop
- Member advice and recommendations based on your inspections

Your day will start with a clear digital schedule, allowing you to focus on delivering quality work without the unpredictability of emergency callouts.
What Makes SMR Unique?
Here’s why our technicians love working in SMR:
- Planned appointments instead of emergency responses
- Consistent workflow without unpredictable demands
- In-depth repairs rather than temporary fixes
- Time to do the job right, with built-in support and parts ordering

This role is perfect for technicians seeking variety and independence without the reactive nature of traditional patrol work.
What You’ll Need
- Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent)
- A minimum of 2 years’ experience as a vehicle technician working on light vehicles
- A full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points
