在竞争格局方面，中国汽车维修行业主要参与者包括 4S店、特约维修服务站、综合维修厂、快修连锁店、专项维修店以及大量的路边店。全国一二三类注册维修企业40多万家，从业人员近500万人，其中非4S店37万家以上，行业集中度极低。

        中国汽车4S店虽然服务质量较高但收费也高，维修厂和路边维修店虽然收费低但服务质量参差不齐，无法让消费者放心；具有一定知名度的连锁店的收费位于4S店和路边维修店之间，具有明显的性价比优势。

        就目前情况看，外资品牌博世、米其林，本土品牌华胜、小拇指、新焦点等已形成品牌连锁效应，客户口碑较好。其中博世、小拇指等已形成全国性布局，其他企业正在积极进行网点扩张和合理化布局。

        博世车联是全球最大的独立汽车服务网络之一，隶属于博世集团，拥有95年的历史，在全球150多个国家拥有17,000多个维修站。其业务主要包括综合服务及快捷服务，服务范围分别为“整车维修，包含钣金&喷漆业务和快修服务”以及“汽车美容，汽车保养和轮胎服务”，该两类服务均采用加盟形式。截止目前，博世车联在中国拥有2000家加盟店。

        新焦点于1989年成立，现为港交所上市公司（00360.HK），在大陆和台湾地区已拥有超过100家的直营汽车维修保养连锁服务和汽车百货批发业务网点。其国内汽修美容业务子公司主要包括新焦点爱义行、长春广达、上海新焦点以及新焦点永隆行，此外该公司还拥有纽福克斯光电这一汽车用品生产企业，拥有较为完备的汽车后市场产业链。

        汽修美容行业巨大市场潜力吸引着各路资本争相进入该领域，不仅为市场注入充足的资本，同时也创新了各类经营模式，如淘宝、京东等互联网企业投入大量资金或收购或创立创新公司（Start-up），并以此为基础创立O2O经营模式；同时也有部分零部件厂商和经销商将产业链后移，进入汽修美容行业，例如以润滑油为主业的美孚1号以及以轮胎经销为主业的麦轮胎，这些企业大都以原产品为主业扩展至其他汽修美容业务。

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 &repairenterprises 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.
