50 years of Toyota W. De Bruyn
Our story begins more than 50 years ago. The people of Vilvoorde and the surrounding area love to get their cars refuelled at Willy and Lisette De Bruyn’s. After all, with every fill-up they also get a dose of Limburg cordiality, a service that makes them feel they are more than a number here.
In 1973, Willy De Bruyn starts a garage in Machelen. As one of the first dealers of the then little-known Toyota brand, he performs pioneering work. Willy wins the trust of many customers in the region. He convinces them not only of Toyota’s solidity and reliability, but also of the importance of punctual after-sales service according to high Japanese quality standards.
From 1988, Garages W. De Bruyn is written in the plural: after Machelen, a second branch is opened in Vilvoorde.
A lot has changed in that half-century. Toyotas became increasingly comfortable, safe, economical and environmentally conscious. Our customers massively embraced hybrid technology. They are introduced to electric driving, and even discover hydrogen.
What remained the same is the unique atmosphere of a real family company. This is also reflected in our customers: very often we get to help the second and third generation within the same family on their way with new and used Toyotas.
We thank all of you, our loyal customers, for the past 50 years. This jubilee is also your jubilee: throughout the festive year, you can enjoy special anniversary conditions!
Our birthday wishes are also for you: we wish you and your Toyota many more years with our family company where you’re more a number!
