Our Story
CAR Electric began in 1980 as a small, family-run business with one simple goal: to provide great service to our neighbors. Over the years, our commitment to quality workmanship and personal care has earned us the trust of homeowners and businesses throughout Chapel Hill and Durham.
From the start, we specialized in remodels, renovations, and service calls - handling the kind of projects where attention to detail and dependability matter most. That focus allowed us to become the go-to electricians for several contractors across the Triangle, who continue to rely on our team for consistent, expert results.
Today, owner Alan brings over 30 years of hands-on experience to every project, supported by a team of skilled electricians who share his dedication to safety and customer satisfaction. While we’ve grown, our values remain the same: treat every customer with respect, deliver exceptional service, and make sure the job is done right.
After more than four decades, we’re proud to be known as the electricians you can count on - whether it’s for an urgent repair, a major upgrade, or the everyday work that keeps your home or business running smoothly.
