Autobedrijf Van Tilborg

What Autobedrijf Van Tilborg does

Autobedrijf Van Tilborg is a privately held, family-owned universal automotive dealership headquartered at Vergtweg 60, Zaltbommel, Netherlands, operating continuously since its founding in 1964 by Rien van Tilborg. The business is currently led by third-generation general director Martin Groeneveld, with the fourth generation of the founding family already active in operations. The company serves private individuals and small-to-medium businesses across Zaltbommel, Den Bosch, and surrounding areas, offering an integrated mobility platform rather than a single product line.

The company's revenue is generated across five primary streams: new and used vehicle sales (passenger cars, commercial vehicles, motorcycles, and 45 km/h microcars under the De Brommobielkoning sub-brand); maintenance, repair, MOT (APK) inspections, tire service, and damage repair through its in-house workshop (operating under the BOVAG and James Autoservice labels); vehicle rental via Oscar Autoverhuur Zaltbommel; ancillary delivery preparation packages (Rijklaarpakketten Basis, Plus, Premium) with BOVAG warranty; and referral-based financing and insurance products. Technology consists of a WooCommerce-backed website with online vehicle listings, a digital workshop appointment planner, and standard digital marketing and analytics tooling, with no proprietary technology stack beyond standard web and CRM-adjacent tooling.

The go-to-market is a hybrid of traditional dealership (single physical showroom at the Vergtweg 60 location, open six days a week) and digital lead capture (online quote requests, test-drive scheduling, trade-in valuation, lease calculator). Distribution is regionally concentrated within a single catchment. The customer mix is primarily individual consumers (including the niche microcar segment for drivers without a category B license, younger pre-license drivers, and older drivers seeking accessible mobility), supplemented by small business fleet buyers, motorcycle enthusiasts, and rental customers. Two named external customers (GreenMo Rent for fleet vans and the nonprofit Prezzent for community fundraising) do not represent material revenue concentration.
