As for the competitive landscape, the main participants in China's auto repair industry include 4S stores, franchised maintenance service stations, comprehensive repair workshops, fast repair chain stores, special repair shops and a large number of roadside shops. There are more than 400,000 registered maintenance &repair enterprises which are divided into three categories with nearly 5 million employees in China, embracing at least 370,000 non-4S stores. The industry features a low concentration rate.

In China, auto 4S stores charge very high although their service quality is excellent, while repair shops and roadside repair shops claim low fees but their services vary dramatically, which cannot make consumers feel assured. Well-known chain stores offer the prices between 4S stores and roadside repair shops, embodying obvious cost advantages.
