Welcome to a new era of mobile repair! At the RAC, we’re not just about roadside rescue; we’re pioneering a fresh approach with our Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR) division. Here, you’ll deliver planned, structured repairs and servicing directly to our members, whether at their driveway or workplace car park. Say goodbye to emergency callouts and unpredictable shifts!

As a Mobile Vehicle Technician, you’ll enjoy:

• Routine servicing and diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment.
• In-depth repairs typically done in a workshop.
• Providing member advice and recommendations based on your inspections.
• Conducting vehicle safety checks aligned with RAC standards.

Your day will start with a clear digital schedule, allowing you to focus on delivering quality work without the stress of reactive breakdowns.

You’ll be part of the Bristol cluster, covering areas like:

• Bristol (City Centre & Suburbs)
• Portishead
• Clevedon
• Filton
• Patchway
• Yate

Enjoy the freedom of working in your local area with a clearly planned schedule of appointments!

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.

No CV is required to apply, and it takes just 5 minutes to start your journey with us!
