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.
