How it's used
Refers specifically to a dealership or a business that sells vehicles, rather than a general repair shop. While it can imply a place that sells cars, it is often used in the context of second hand car dealers or specialized showrooms. It is distinct from 車房, which is strictly for vehicle maintenance and repairs.
