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.
Where you'll work: You'll be part of the Bristol cluster, covering areas like Bristol (City Centre & Suburbs), Portishead, Clevedon, Filton, Patchway, Yate, Keynsham. You'll be out on the road in your local area, working through a clearly planned schedule of appointments - no reactive callouts, just organised, pre-booked work where you can focus on doing the job properly.
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:
- Either: NVQ Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent) with 2+ years experience or 5+ years experience as a Vehicle Technician/Mechanic
- 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 £40,170, with the opportunity to increase your earnings up to £52,000 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.
