Welcome to our home page of Dr. Vette.
If you do not already know, the Dr.Vette facility in New Philadelphia, Ohio had been struck by tragedy in early 2001. During a cold Ohio evening the Dr.Vette facility caught fire leaving nothing but great memories of almost 19 years serving fine Corvette enthusiasts. Dr.Vette has reached out to Corvette people all over the world and has made many friends along the way. Jill Stanley, the President during that time, always considered everyone a friend, even competition! During Jill's ownership of Dr. Vette, she befriended two brothers, Luke and John Putz, owners of Corvette Stainless Steel Brakes, Inc. During the treacherous years of the Corvette Brake Caliper Wars, Jill and the Putz brothers always had time to sit and talk over a few drinks and dinner at many of the Corvette Swap Meets. Always trying to out due the other, the respect for each other was always there. As years past Corvette Stainless Steel Brakes, inc. supplied many of the Power Steering Parts, hoses and numerous other parts. Luke and John were not really competitors anymore; they were a major supplier to Jill and her crew at Dr.Vette. After the terrible fire at the Dr.Vette facility the only thing left behind was the world-renowned name, Dr. Vette. The Putz brothers felt so sad for all of Jill Stanley's work for the past 19 years that they offered to help keep the name and services going. After many meetings back and forth, the transaction went through. Even now when someone gets out an old dusty catalog, opens it up and dials the old "330" area code in New Philadelphia Ohio, they get greeted by a " Dr. Vette, can I help you?" Luke and John do get some calls by confused customers that went by the old Dr.Vette address and "It was gone!" Yes, the telephone numbers - are still the same and even the fax gets transferred to Sunny Miami, Florida home of Corvette Stainless Steel Brakes, Inc. - the (330) numbers will not be in service after December 2003, but the original 1-800-878-1022 will continue to be operational.
