I would think it mistagged. :-)

shop=trade
trade=motor_dealing

is my best, but horrible, invention of a value to indicate a place
probably auctioning cars for the motor trade. But I wouldn't use shop
as the primary tag for such a place.

The point is to indicate the sort of tagging already established for the
trade tag, rather than to suggest anyone do that.
