Services for vehicles (See also Key:service) ![]() ![]() |
Used on these elements |
Status: de facto |
taginfo: service:vehicle:* |
The service:vehicle:* tagging scheme was introduced by iD Editor as a way to tag what the type of services a shop=car(dealership) and shop=car_repair object provides, in a way that does not conflict with the existing use of the service=* scheme used for tagging service roads (highway=service).
Combinations
A few of the most used tagging combinations are listed below. More can find at TagInfo.
Key | description | Count |
---|---|---|
service:vehicle:car_repair=* | Offers car repair services - please be more specific |
|
service:vehicle:truck_repair=* | Offers truck repair services - please be more specific |
|
service:vehicle:oil_change=* | An oil replacement is possible here |
|
service:vehicle:tyres=* | Tyres are sold and replaced here - does not imply that a punctured tyre might be repaired at this location (but it can be replaced) |
|
service:vehicle:tyres_repair=* | Tyres are repaired here - e.g. a punctured tyre might be fixed here. Does not imply that tyres are sold |
|
service:vehicle:new_car_sales=* | New cars are sold here |
|
service:vehicle:diagnostics=* | The problems a car has can be diagnosed here, typically by connecting the car to a specialized computer which gives a status indication. The car might then be fixed at the location or be referred to another repair shop. |

Alternatives
Another alternative is using the service=* tagging scheme to tag what kind of services a car repair shop provides. The service=* key has mainly been used together with highway=service tag and the different usage in association with shop=car_repair might be confusing to some users. Another alternative is to a car:*=* namespace tagging scheme. Neither scheme has been discussed or approved though, but at least service:vehicle=* is used more than the two other options. Although, tagging should not be based on prior tagging numbers alone.
