Larry Dossantos moved to Boston from Cape Verde as a child. He always knew he wanted to be his own boss and realized that idea was very possible in the U.S. At age 17, he set about making his dream a reality. Soon, 912 Auto Center in Dorchester was born.
Dossantos also started a networking and support group for neighborhood entrepreneurs and his business has gone “green” in an exemplary way. He was the winner in the Neighborhood Business category at The Immigrant Learning Center, Inc.’s Immigrant Entrepreneur Awards 2012.
