Father turns wrenches over to his son;
Dotson retires from family
business
By SHERRYL SHEETS
In 1964, Edsel Dotson opened an auto
maintenance shop in a small garage in
Magnetic Springs. His plan was to work
on vehicles for a living. By 1978,
his business outgrew that facility and his
dream grew bigger.
That year, a new Dotsonšs Garage was built at its
present location at
the corner of State Routes 37 and 347. The business has
continued to expand
ever since.
