I see from the page history that I added service=* to the wiki page, but I'm sorry to say I cannot remember exactly why. :( While service=* is definitely in use with car repair shops, it does seem to create the possibility of confusion. I'd be happy to at least change the wording to indicate this, or remove it if that's the consensus.
EDIT: looking into this further, service=tyres|dealer|parts|repair, which are the largest usage of the car repair-service tags (500-1800 uses, depending), all have wiki redirects to the Russian shop=car page ( http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/RU%3ATag%3Ashop%3Dcar). In looking at the service=tyres map on taginfo, the majority of usage is in Russia too http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/service=tyres#map Does anyone know someone who could bring this up on the Russian talk list? (or can read the Russian wiki page?) As for alternatives, some people have used car_repair=* but Martin's idea, though complex, would better allow multiple values.
