A 
car wash is a facility used to clean the exterior and, in some cases, the interior of motor vehicles. Car washes can be self-serve, fully automated, or full-service with attendants who wash the vehicle. There are also washing facilities for trucks, buses and trains.
How to map
Set a node at the center of the car wash or draw an area along its outline.
Tag it with amenity=car_wash and name=*.
In cases where the road intersects with the car wash building on the map, some tag the road section that passes through the building with tunnel=yes or tunnel=building_passage if such way is not indoors to indicate that the road is supposed to go through the building. Additionally, tag the road segment as highway=service and service=drive-through to indicate to routers that the road is not to be used for normal routing (e.g. as a shortcut).
