What Van der Linden Auto Zoetermeer does

Van der Linden Auto Zoetermeer is a family-owned automotive dealership founded in 1967, originally in Moerkapelle and relocated to its current showroom at Fokkerstraat 36-38 in Zoetermeer, Netherlands in 1991. The company retails new and used vehicles from approximately 17 brands — including Hyundai, Toyota, Fiat, Volkswagen, Renault, Kia, Opel, Peugeot, MINI, Mazda, Nissan, SEAT, Skoda, Alfa Romeo, CUPRA, Porsche, Ford, and Mitsubishi — across petrol, diesel, hybrid, and electric powertrains, with a stock of around 101 used cars. It maintains a Hyundai specialization of roughly 39 years (since 1986), which anchors its brand identity, while operating as a universal dealer for the broader lineup.

The business runs an integrated dealership model combining vehicle sales, in-house financing, private lease, insurance, and workshop services (maintenance, repairs, and APK inspections). Revenue is generated from one-time vehicle transactions (vehicle prices ranging from €950 to €72,950), recurring financing and private lease payments (from €19 per month), and fee-for-service workshop work; a BOVAG warranty is offered at €795 for 12 months. Distribution is conducted through a single physical showroom open six days a week plus an online inventory storefront on vanderlindenauto.nl, with marketing supported by Facebook and Instagram profiles. The dealership is BOVAG-certified, RDW-erkend, and a Bosch Car Service partner, uses Autodata for diagnostics, and can process vehicle registration and deregistration on location. It serves individual consumers and small business customers in the Zoetermeer region with a staff of 8, and is managed by the founding family with Jan van der Linden as the named contact.
