Garage in Rotterdam South, near De Kuip stadium

Our garage is at Boterdiep 11, 3077 AW Rotterdam, in the IJsselmonde district of Rotterdam South. That is diagonally opposite Stadion Feijenoord, the football stadium better known as De Kuip. If you know where De Kuip is, you can find us.

We are Autobedrijf Willemsbrug B.V., also known as Allemerkengarage, a family business since 1979 and an RDW-approved APK station. The RDW is the Dutch vehicle authority.

Our technicians work on cars of all makes, from petrol and diesel to hybrid and electric. They are GMTO-certified for servicing and diagnosing hybrid and electric cars. We do not work on the high-voltage battery pack itself.

Our customers come from all over Rotterdam South, for example IJsselmonde, Feijenoord, Beverwaard, Lombardijen, Hillesluis, Bloemhof, Vreewijk, Charlois, Kop van Zuid and the area around Zuidplein. All our details are on our contact page. Our score is 4.8 / 5 from 235 reviews.

Yes. Customers also come to us from Capelle aan den IJssel, Krimpen aan den IJssel, Ridderkerk and Barendrecht, and from Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht and Zwijndrecht. We have one garage, at Boterdiep 11 in Rotterdam-IJsselmonde. We do not have a branch in these towns.

You do not have to have the APK done in your own town. According to the RDW, you book it with an RDW-approved APK station (RDW, checked November 2026). The garage is at exit 24 of the A16, and the A15 is quick to reach via the A16.

You can come to us for the APK, servicing and repairs on all makes. That applies to cars, vans and motorhomes up to 3,500 kg. We have five heavy-duty lifts, including lifts for motorhomes and commercial vehicles up to 3,500 kg.

According to the ANWB, European rules allow you to use a garage other than the dealer, and you keep your manufacturer’s warranty if the garage services the car according to the manufacturer’s rules (ANWB, checked November 2026). So you may also use an independent garage. Do read your manufacturer’s terms.

Yes. Our team speaks English, so you can explain the problem with your car in your own words. When you call, have your registration number ready. In the Netherlands this is the kenteken, the number on your number plate. With it we look up the details of your car.

Six weeks before your APK expires, the RDW sends you one reminder by post, or through the Berichtenbox (message box) of MijnOverheid if you have set that up (RDW, checked November 2026).

Not sure what the letter says? Bring it with you and we will go through it with you.

According to the RDW, you can have the APK done from two months before the expiry date without losing any time, because your new expiry date is counted from the old one.

Prices Autobedrijf Willemsbrug, November 2026

The APK is free with a major service for cars and vans, except for a Tesla. It is not free for motorhomes. Registering the result with the RDW is included in the APK.

We do not quote an hourly rate. We tell you one amount in advance based on your registration number, and we only do extra work with your approval.

Has your car failed the APK? If we repair the items that failed, we will also arrange the retest. We will tell you the cost of the repairs and the retest in advance. You can pay by debit card or in cash. We do not accept credit cards.

We are open Monday to Friday from 8.00 to 17.30 and on Saturday from 9.00 to 15.00. We are closed on Sunday.

From Monday to Friday you bring the car between 8.00 and 8.30, on Saturday at 9.00, as agreed with you. We call you when the car is ready. You can collect the car until 17.30, or on Saturday between 9.00 and 15.00.

Would you rather drop the car off earlier, for example the evening before or before 8.00? That is possible by appointment. Park the car outside our garage at your own risk and put the key in an envelope through our letterbox. Write your name, phone number and registration number on the envelope.

On Saturday we can do, among other things, an air conditioning service, a seasonal tyre change, a winter check, brakes and an oil change. Larger repairs on Saturday are possible by arrangement. The APK is Monday to Friday only. See our page about our garage open on Saturday.

We work by appointment. For a quick question or check you can walk in without an appointment. For a warning light or a noise you can walk in Monday to Friday, and we see whether we can look at it straight away. Reading the fault codes costs a fixed amount.

Call us and we will tell you the amount in advance.
