Autobedrijf Kooiman B.V.

What Autobedrijf Kooiman B.V. does

Autobedrijf Kooiman B.V. is a privately held, family-controlled used car dealership founded in 1973 and headquartered in Oud-Beijerland, Netherlands. The company operates from a 3,500 m² showroom carrying approximately 200 used vehicles across price bands from roughly €25,000 to €55,000, supported by a state-of-the-art workshop, an in-house damage repair (schadeherstel) department, and an on-site car wash. It holds BOVAG dealer certification, NAP mileage certification, and Opel authorized repairer status, and partners with Eurorepar for multi-brand parts and service.

The business sells primarily to individual consumers in the Hoeksche Waard region through a sales-led, direct showroom model supplemented by a website with inventory search, social media presence (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn), WhatsApp, and word-of-mouth referrals built over 50 years of local operation. Revenue mechanics combine one-time vehicle sales with financing origination (starting from €324 per month) and recurring service revenue from maintenance, APK inspections, air conditioning service, windshield repair, bodywork, and car wash. Three tiered delivery packages (Comfort, Premium, Collectie) priced between €795 and €1,695 attach warranty, roadside assistance, and preparation services onto unit sales.

The company is operated by directors Herman Kooiman and André Kooiman (purchasing), supported by an aftersales manager, sales advisors, service advisors, workshop technicians, administration staff, and customer-contact personnel, totaling approximately 25 employees. Ownership is entirely within the founding family with no disclosed institutional or private equity investors, no funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity on record.

Others

• AutoScout24 Nederland: Largest online used-car marketplace in the Netherlands where Kooiman lists inventory. Not a direct competitor but the dominant digital channel shaping consumer discovery and price expectations for Dutch used-car dealers.

Broad incumbents

• Van Mossel Automotive Group: Largest independent Dutch automotive dealer group with new and used car sales, service, and body shops nationwide. Comparable business model (multi-brand dealer + workshop + schadeherstel) but operates at significantly greater scale and geographic breadth.
• Hedin Automotive Nederland: European automotive group with substantial Dutch dealer and service operations across multiple OEM brands. Comparable franchise/service structure and damage repair offering, but with pan-European scale and broader geographic reach.
• Wensink Automotive Group: Northern Dutch automotive dealer group operating multiple brands with sales, service, and body repair. Comparable full-service dealer business model, but with a footprint concentrated in a different region and at significantly larger scale.
• Broekhuis Holding: Dutch automotive retail group operating multiple new and used car brands plus service locations across the Netherlands. Directly comparable showroom-plus-workshop model, but with a much larger branch network and brand portfolio than Kooiman.
• Dusseldorp Automotive Group: Mid-sized Dutch automotive group with new and used car sales plus service and damage repair across multiple branches. Comparable integrated dealer-service model and mid-market positioning, with broader geographic reach than Kooiman.
• Louwman Group: Dutch family-controlled automotive group with Toyota/Lexus and other franchises plus used car and service operations. Comparable multi-revenue-stream model (sales + service + parts) but at much larger scale and with a primary OEM focus.

Direct peers

• Auto Hoogenboom: Independently owned Dutch used-car and service operation of broadly similar scale, with showroom + workshop + body repair model. Highly comparable as a stand-alone regional dealer competing for the same consumer segment in the same Dutch market.
