Overview

  • Perform routine servicing
  • Conduct diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment
  • Carry out in depth repairs you would normally complete in a workshop
  • Provide member advice and recommendations based on your inspection
  • Execute vehicle safety checks aligned to RAC standards

From day one you have a fully equipped RAC van, fuel card, uniform, full tool set and advanced diagnostics. You use your technical skill and problem solving ability to get people moving again safely, quickly and confidently.
