I've never washed a bike at a car wash and never would. Way to many places that high pressure water can get into that it shouldn't.

I try to avoid wet washes, but have to about once a month in season, or after getting caught in the rain.

Not to start a "cleaning war" but pressure washers (cleaning) and...air compressors (drying) are the worst things to use for bike cleaning. Both can push things where they don't belong...
