At the age of 10, Larry knew that his goal in life was to own an auto repair & body shop. By the time he was 12 years old, Larry owned three cars-- he once traded in his camera for a ‘39 Chevrolet. At the age of 16, he became a mechanic at a Chevrolet garage in Michigan, which ultimately lead him to purchase our De Pere Auto Center in 1976. Everyday, Larry fulfills his childhood dream of providing people with honest, professional, quality auto service.
