Join the RAC. Together, we're going places.
  • A competitive base salary of £38,625, with on-target earnings of up to £55,000 (inclusive of London Weighting Allowance, if applicable)
  • A guaranteed overtime option to increase your base salary to £44,385, plus additional overtime and bonus opportunities
  • 40 hours per week, with core hours from 8:30am to 5pm, and 1 in 4 Saturdays.
As an RAC Mobile Mechanic in the Service, Maintenance and Repair division, you'll bring expert vehicle maintenance and diagnostic skills directly to our customers, wherever they are. From driveways to office car parks, you'll deliver first-class service without the constraints of a traditional garage. We'll equip you for success from day one - with your own RAC van, fuel card, full uniform, essential tools, and diagnostic kit all provided. Think independence, career progression, and real work-life balance - with a 40-hour week that keeps you moving and out of the same four walls. The RAC has been a trusted name for over 125 years, combining our heritage with bold innovation. Now's the time to join a company that's redefining roadside repair. If you're a skilled, practical mechanic looking to be part of something big, this is for you. No CV required when you apply - it's easier than ever to start your journey with us. As a Mobile Mechanic at RAC, you'll get benefits that go the extra mile:
  • Earnings That Motivate - enjoy a market-competitive base salary of £38,625, with the opportunity to increase your earnings up to £50,000 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.
Sound like your kind of role? Here's what we're after:
  • You're someone who gets people. This isn't just spanners and engines-our mechanics are out there on driveways, chatting with customers, giving advice, and representing the RAC with pride. You're not just in the RAC-you are the RAC. Every fix, every chat, every driveway visit shows what we're all about.
  • You like mixing things up. Every day's a little different-servicing, diagnostics, repairs, and checks. But it doesn't stop there: you'll manage your stock, do your reporting, and keep those customer conversations flowing.
  • You think on your feet. You'll be trusted to think on your feet and make the right call for each customer. Different fixes, different faces, new challenges every day.
What you'll need:
  • Level 2 light vehicle maintenance qualification (or equivalent)
  • At least 3 years' hands-on experience as a vehicle technician working with a range of light vehicles
  • A full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points
Why RAC? At the RAC, we never stand still. With a legacy of over 125 years, it's this restless drive for better that's earned the trust of over 12.5 million members and it's why we're on a mission to be the UK's number one motoring services provider. That commitment to excellence isn't just felt by our members, it's echoed by our people too. With a 4.5-star rating on Glassdoor, our colleagues recognise the RAC as a place where ambition, support and authenticity come together. We're all about progress powered by people. As an equal opportunities employer, we welcome every background, champion every voice and back your growth every step of the way. At the RAC, individuality fuels innovation and you're invited to bring your full self to it.
