Mobile Mechanic
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; we’re pioneering a fresh approach with our Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR) division. Here, you’ll deliver planned, structured repairs directly to our members, whether at their driveway or workplace car park. Say goodbye to emergency callouts and unpredictable shifts—this is your chance to work through a scheduled list of jobs with all the tools and support you need to excel!
Your Role and Responsibilities
As a Mobile Vehicle Technician, you’ll be part of the Exeter cluster, covering beautiful areas like Exeter, Exmouth, Sidmouth, and more. Your day will start with a clear digital schedule, allowing you to focus on:

- Advanced diagnostics using cutting-edge mobile equipment
- In-depth repairs typically done in a workshop
- Providing member advice and recommendations based on inspections
- Conducting vehicle safety checks aligned with RAC standards
What Makes SMR Unique?
Our technicians love working in SMR for several reasons:
- Planned appointments instead of emergency responses
- Consistent workflow without unpredictable demands
- In-depth repairs rather than temporary roadside fixes
- Time to do the job right, with built-in support and parts ordering
- Clear schedules using RAC’s mobile service platform

To thrive in this role, you should have:
- A Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent)
