Hi,
I agree there seems to be a problem here that needs careful discussion &
consideration, but:

The ACTION should definitely not be you mass-editing things back to how
you think they should be tagged. This can be discussed here and we can
make a change AFTER that, not while.
Bye

I agree, but last time this wasn't very successful :

Even if the tag keys were not propper, you've just removed many specific
information about services that were in the values, such as batteries;
brakes; electrical; inspection; muffler; oil_change.
Without preserving them in any other usefull, or more propper tag if needed.

Simply removing true info is not a good deal.
Where and how would someone find those specific infos about car services
again?
Are you considering the validity of those previously tagged specific
infos, and the efforts of who did it to put valuable info in to OSM, in
your large-scale re-tagging?

Yeah, this should be discussed beforehand,
whether we then also tag all items in a supermarket,
or instead use more generic tags like food/non-food.
I'd suggest :
batteries; brakes:
car:parts=yes OR car:parts=batteries;brakes (if only)
electrical :
unclear what is meant, electrical repair or electric cars ?
either :
car:repair=yes OR car:repair=electrical (if only)
OR
car:type=electric
inspection
car:repair=inspection (if only, such as pitstop and similar)
muffler; oil_change
car:repair=muffler;oil_change (if only)
I think it's vital to follow those principles:
