Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	-1	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
	China Auto Logistics Inc. (the “Company” or “China Auto”) operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary Ever Auspicious International Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“HKCo.”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary Tianjin Seashore New District Shisheng Business Trading Group Co. Ltd. (“Shisheng”), a company established under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and Shisheng’s wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, Tianjin Ganghui Information Technology Corp. (“Ganghui”), Tianjin Hengjia Port Logistics Corp. (“Hengjia”), Zhengji International Trading Corp. (“Zhengji”), and Tianjin Zhonghe Auto Sales Service Co., Ltd. (“Zhonghe”). The Company also has a 40% ownership interest in a joint venture between Zhonghe and Car King (China) Used Car Trading Co., Ltd. (“Car King Tianjin”).
	The Company’s principal businesses include (i) sales of imported automobiles (“Sales of Automobiles”), (ii) financing services related to imported automobiles (“Financing Services”), (iii) automobile information websites and advertising services (“Web-based Advertising Services”), (iv) logistics services related to the automobile importing process and other automobile value added services, such as assistance with customs clearance, storage and nationwide delivery services (“Automobile Value Added Services”), and (v) airport auto mall automotive services including selling used cars through Car King Tianjin and leasing the Airport International Auto Mall facility in Tianjin, China (the “Airport International Auto Mall”) to Car King Tianjin and other tenants (“Airport Auto Mall Automotive Services”). The Cooperation Agreement dated March 1, 2013, by and between the Company and Tianjin Prominent Hero International Logistics Co., Ltd, to manage the International Auto Mall in Tianjin, China, expired according to its terms on February 28, 2014, and was not renewed. Therefore, as of March 1, 2014, the Company no longer provides auto mall management services.
	The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, which has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations and the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.
	In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of China Auto as of March 31, 2015 and the results of its operations, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.
	The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Going Concern
	The Company incurred operating losses and had negative operating cash flows and may continue to generate negative cash flows as the Company implements its business plan for the remainder of 2015. There can be no assurance that the Company’s continuing efforts to execute its business plan will be successful and that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, which contemplate the Company’s continuation as a going concern. The Company’s net loss attributable to shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $2,666,441 as compared to $1,346,167 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
	As of March 31, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $9,194,698, including $69,240,968 in current liabilities for short-term borrowings which are due during the period between July 2015 and February 2016, and $17,311,791 in current liabilities payable to Hezhong related to the Company’s acquisition of Zhonghe (the “Zhonghe Acquisition”), which is due in November in 2015, and for which the Company does not currently have the necessary capital to re-pay. Net cash used in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $2,785,883. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
	The Company invested heavily in Car King Tianjin through cash investment, advances, and leasing a portion of the Airport International Auto Mall to Car King Tianjin to operate a used car business. The Company believes that there is a strong market for used car sales in China and Car King Tianjin will provide us with opportunities for long-term growth. However, the Company cannot precisely predict the extent of the growth and whether such growth will convert into substantial profits in the future.
	The Company does not currently have sufficient cash or commitments for financing to sustain its operations for the next twelve months. The Company’s plan continues to be to develop new customer relationships and substantially increase our cash flows from operations and revenue derived from our products/services. If the Company’s revenues do not reach the level anticipated in our plan, the Company may require additional financing in order to execute our operating plan. If additional financing is required, the Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity, debt, or another form, and the Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In the event that financing sources are not available, or that the Company is unsuccessful in increasing its revenues and profits, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay our debt obligations or respond to competitive pressures, any of which would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of China Auto and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
	Currency Reporting
	The Company’s operations in the PRC use the local currency, Renminbi (“RMB”), as their functional currency, whereas amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures are stated in U.S. dollars, the reporting currency of the Company, unless stated otherwise. As such, the condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Company have been translated into U.S. dollars at the current rates as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and the condensed consolidated statements of income have been translated into U.S. dollars at the weighted average rates during the periods the transactions were recognized.
	The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in determining other comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and as a separate component of equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company’s main source of income was generated through (1) Sales of Automobiles, (2) Financing Services (3) Web-based Advertising Services including fees from (i) displaying graphical advertisements on the Company websites and (ii) web-based listing services that allow customers to place automobile related information on the Company’s websites, (4) Automobile Value Added Services, and (5) Airport Auto Mall Automotive Services. As indicated above, as of March 1, 2014, the Company no longer performs auto mall management services, and therefore, it will no longer recognize revenue related to such services.
	The Company recognizes revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred upon shipment or services have been rendered, the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
	The Company recognizes Sales of Automobiles upon delivery and acceptance by the customers and where collectibility is reasonably assured.
	Service revenue related to Financing Services is recognized ratably over the financing period.
	Service fees for graphical advertisements on the Company’s websites are charged on a fixed fee basis. The Company recognizes the advertising revenue when the service is performed over the service term. The Company charges a monthly fee for listing services and recognizes the revenue when services are performed. The Company offers sales incentives to its customers in the form of (i) subscription exemption; (ii) discounted prices and (iii) free advertisements. The Company classifies sales incentives as a reduction of net revenues. Revenues, net of discounts and allowances, are recognized ratably over the service periods.
	The Company recognizes revenue from Automobile Value Added Services when such services are performed.
	Airport Auto Mall Automotive Services include (i) the rental of the Airport International Auto Mall, and (ii) equity income (loss) derived from Car King Tianjin. Rental income from the Airport International Auto Mall is recognized over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The Company’s lease agreement, entered into with Car King Tianjin in January 2014 (the “Rental Agreement”), contains a contingent rental arrangement for fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018, under which rental income is determined based on a percentage of Car King Tianjin’s gross profit. Notwithstanding this arrangement, the Rental Agreement contains both a minimum and a maximum annual rental amount. Contingent rental income is recognized when specified targets are met. The equity income (loss) derived from Car King Tianjin is recognized based on the Company’s ownership share in Car King Tianjin’s net income (loss)
	Value added taxes (“VAT”) represent amounts collected on behalf of specific regulatory agencies that require remittance by a specified date. These amounts are collected at the time of sales and are detailed on invoices provided to customers. The Company accounts for VAT on a net basis. The Company recorded and paid business taxes based on a percentage of the net service revenues and reported the service revenue net of the business taxes and other sales related taxes.
	Receivables Related to Financing Services
	The Company records receivables related to Financing Services when cash is loaned to customers to finance their purchases of automobiles. Upon repayment by customers, the Company records the amounts as reductions of receivables related to Financing Services. Receivables related to Financing Services represent the aggregate outstanding balance of loans from customers related to their purchases of automobiles and are considered receivables held for investment. The Company charges a fee for providing loan services and such fees are prepaid by customers. The Company amortizes these fees over the receivable term, which is typically 90 days, using the straight-line method. The Company records such amortized amounts as financing fee income and the unamortized amount is classified as deferred revenue on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
	The Company evaluates the collectibility of outstanding receivables at the end of each of the reporting periods and makes estimates for potential credit losses. The Company has not experienced any losses on its receivables related to Financing Services historically and accordingly did not record any allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
	Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
	Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed similarly to basic earnings per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not have any common stock equivalents, therefore, the basic earnings (loss) per share is the same as the diluted earnings (loss) per share.
	New Accounting Standards
	The Company is not aware of any recently issued accounting pronouncements that, when adopted, will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

	According to the Law of the PRC on Enterprises with Wholly-Owned Foreign Investment, the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC are required to make appropriations from after-tax profits as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC (“PRC GAAP”) to nondistributable reserves. These reserve funds include one or more of the following: (i) a general reserve, (ii) an enterprise expansion reserve and (iii) a staff bonus and welfare fund. A wholly-owned PRC subsidiary is not required to make appropriations to the enterprise expansion reserve but annual appropriations to the general reserve are required to be made at 10% of the profit after tax as determined under PRC GAAP at each year-end, until such fund has reached 50% of its respective registered capital. The staff welfare and bonus reserve is determined by the board of directors. The general reserve is used to offset future losses. The subsidiary may, upon a resolution passed by the stockholder, convert the general reserve into capital. The staff welfare and bonus reserve are used for the collective welfare of the employees of the subsidiary. The enterprise expansion reserve is for the expansion of the subsidiary operations and can be converted to capital subject to approval by the relevant authorities. These reserves represent appropriations of the retained earnings determined in accordance with Chinese law.
	In addition to the general reserve, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are required to obtain approval from the local PRC government prior to distributing any registered share capital. Accordingly, both the appropriations to general reserve and the registered share capital of the Company’s PRC subsidiary are considered as restricted net assets and are not distributable as cash dividends. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s statutory reserve fund was approximately $3,371,000 and $3,437,000, respectively.

	The Company has five principal operating segments: (1) Sales of Automobiles, (2) Financing Services, (3) Web-based Advertising Services, (4) Automobile Value Added Services, and (5) Airport Auto Mall Automotive Services. Effective March 1, 2014, the Company ceased providing auto mall management services due to the expiration on February 28, 2014 of the Cooperation Agreement dated March 1, 2013, by and between the Company and Tianjin Prominent Hero International Logistics Co., Ltd, to manage the International Auto Mall in Tianjin, China. The Company’s operating segments are determined based on the nature of the services offered. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company's chief executive officer and chief operating officer have been identified as the chief operating decision makers. The Company's chief operating decision makers direct the allocation of resources to operating segments based on the profitability and cash flows of each respective segment.
	The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, including net revenue, cost of revenue, operating expenses, and income from operations. The following tables show the operations of the Company's operating segments:

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation	Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
	China Auto Logistics Inc. (the “Company” or “China Auto”) operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary Ever Auspicious International Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“HKCo.”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary Tianjin Seashore New District Shisheng Business Trading Group Co. Ltd. (“Shisheng”), a company established under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and Shisheng’s wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, Tianjin Ganghui Information Technology Corp. (“Ganghui”), Tianjin Hengjia Port Logistics Corp. (“Hengjia”), Zhengji International Trading Corp. (“Zhengji”), and Tianjin Zhonghe Auto Sales Service Co., Ltd. (“Zhonghe”). The Company also has a 40% ownership interest in a joint venture between Zhonghe and Car King (China) Used Car Trading Co., Ltd. (“Car King Tianjin”).
	The Company’s principal businesses include (i) sales of imported automobiles (“Sales of Automobiles”), (ii) financing services related to imported automobiles (“Financing Services”), (iii) automobile information websites and advertising services (“Web-based Advertising Services”), (iv) logistics services related to the automobile importing process and other automobile value added services, such as assistance with customs clearance, storage and nationwide delivery services (“Automobile Value Added Services”), and (v) airport auto mall automotive services including selling used cars through Car King Tianjin and leasing the Airport International Auto Mall facility in Tianjin, China (the “Airport International Auto Mall”) to Car King Tianjin and other tenants (“Airport Auto Mall Automotive Services”). The Cooperation Agreement dated March 1, 2013, by and between the Company and Tianjin Prominent Hero International Logistics Co., Ltd, to manage the International Auto Mall in Tianjin, China, expired according to its terms on February 28, 2014, and was not renewed. Therefore, as of March 1, 2014, the Company no longer provides auto mall management services.
	The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, which has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations and the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.
	In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of China Auto as of March 31, 2015 and the results of its operations, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.
	The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Going Concern	Going Concern
	The Company incurred operating losses and had negative operating cash flows and may continue to generate negative cash flows as the Company implements its business plan for the remainder of 2015. There can be no assurance that the Company’s continuing efforts to execute its business plan will be successful and that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, which contemplate the Company’s continuation as a going concern. The Company’s net loss attributable to shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $2,666,441 as compared to $1,346,167 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
	As of March 31, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $9,194,698, including $69,240,968 in current liabilities for short-term borrowings which are due during the period between July 2015 and February 2016, and $17,311,791 in current liabilities payable to Hezhong related to the Company’s acquisition of Zhonghe (the “Zhonghe Acquisition”), which is due in November in 2015, and for which the Company does not currently have the necessary capital to re-pay. Net cash used in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $2,785,883. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
	The Company invested heavily in Car King Tianjin through cash investment, advances, and leasing a portion of the Airport International Auto Mall to Car King Tianjin to operate a used car business. The Company believes that there is a strong market for used car sales in China and Car King Tianjin will provide us with opportunities for long-term growth. However, the Company cannot precisely predict the extent of the growth and whether such growth will convert into substantial profits in the future.
	The Company does not currently have sufficient cash or commitments for financing to sustain its operations for the next twelve months. The Company’s plan continues to be to develop new customer relationships and substantially increase our cash flows from operations and revenue derived from our products/services. If the Company’s revenues do not reach the level anticipated in our plan, the Company may require additional financing in order to execute our operating plan. If additional financing is required, the Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity, debt, or another form, and the Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In the event that financing sources are not available, or that the Company is unsuccessful in increasing its revenues and profits, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay our debt obligations or respond to competitive pressures, any of which would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation
	The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of China Auto and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Currency Reporting	Currency Reporting
	The Company’s operations in the PRC use the local currency, Renminbi (“RMB”), as their functional currency, whereas amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures are stated in U.S. dollars, the reporting currency of the Company, unless stated otherwise. As such, the condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Company have been translated into U.S. dollars at the current rates as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and the condensed consolidated statements of income have been translated into U.S. dollars at the weighted average rates during the periods the transactions were recognized.
	The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in determining other comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and as a separate component of equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition
	The Company’s main source of income was generated through (1) Sales of Automobiles, (2) Financing Services (3) Web-based Advertising Services including fees from (i) displaying graphical advertisements on the Company websites and (ii) web-based listing services that allow customers to place automobile related information on the Company’s websites, (4) Automobile Value Added Services, and (5) Airport Auto Mall Automotive Services. As indicated above, as of March 1, 2014, the Company no longer performs auto mall management services, and therefore, it will no longer recognize revenue related to such services.
	The Company recognizes revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred upon shipment or services have been rendered, the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
	The Company recognizes Sales of Automobiles upon delivery and acceptance by the customers and where collectibility is reasonably assured.
	Service revenue related to Financing Services is recognized ratably over the financing period.
	Service fees for graphical advertisements on the Company’s websites are charged on a fixed fee basis. The Company recognizes the advertising revenue when the service is performed over the service term. The Company charges a monthly fee for listing services and recognizes the revenue when services are performed. The Company offers sales incentives to its customers in the form of (i) subscription exemption; (ii) discounted prices and (iii) free advertisements. The Company classifies sales incentives as a reduction of net revenues. Revenues, net of discounts and allowances, are recognized ratably over the service periods.
	The Company recognizes revenue from Automobile Value Added Services when such services are performed.
	Airport Auto Mall Automotive Services include (i) the rental of the Airport International Auto Mall, and (ii) equity income (loss) derived from Car King Tianjin. Rental income from the Airport International Auto Mall is recognized over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The Company’s lease agreement, entered into with Car King Tianjin in January 2014 (the “Rental Agreement”), contains a contingent rental arrangement for fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018, under which rental income is determined based on a percentage of Car King Tianjin’s gross profit. Notwithstanding this arrangement, the Rental Agreement contains both a minimum and a maximum annual rental amount. Contingent rental income is recognized when specified targets are met. The equity income (loss) derived from Car King Tianjin is recognized based on the Company’s ownership share in Car King Tianjin’s net income (loss)
	Value added taxes (“VAT”) represent amounts collected on behalf of specific regulatory agencies that require remittance by a specified date. These amounts are collected at the time of sales and are detailed on invoices provided to customers. The Company accounts for VAT on a net basis. The Company recorded and paid business taxes based on a percentage of the net service revenues and reported the service revenue net of the business taxes and other sales related taxes.
Receivables Related to Financing Services	Receivables Related to Financing Services
	The Company records receivables related to Financing Services when cash is loaned to customers to finance their purchases of automobiles. Upon repayment by customers, the Company records the amounts as reductions of receivables related to Financing Services. Receivables related to Financing Services represent the aggregate outstanding balance of loans from customers related to their purchases of automobiles and are considered receivables held for investment. The Company charges a fee for providing loan services and such fees are prepaid by customers. The Company amortizes these fees over the receivable term, which is typically 90 days, using the straight-line method. The Company records such amortized amounts as financing fee income and the unamortized amount is classified as deferred revenue on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
	The Company evaluates the collectibility of outstanding receivables at the end of each of the reporting periods and makes estimates for potential credit losses. The Company has not experienced any losses on its receivables related to Financing Services historically and accordingly did not record any allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share	Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
	Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed similarly to basic earnings per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not have any common stock equivalents, therefore, the basic earnings (loss) per share is the same as the diluted earnings (loss) per share.
New Accounting Standards	New Accounting Standards
	The Company is not aware of any recently issued accounting pronouncements that, when adopted, will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
