Google Maps has the wrong street names near me, so I looked for something from OpenStreetMap. But there's nothing that works with Android Auto. In fact, there are only two Android Auto navigation apps, Google Maps and Waze. Both owned by Google, and Waze seems happy to send me through the most confusing intersections if it thinks it will save 5 seconds of driving time.

I've submitted multiple corrections to Google Maps and all of them eventually were fixed. I even got a same day response one time, with the longest taking about 3 weeks. I haven't made any corrections recently. Have you attempted to submit feedback on the Maps site?

  +1 ... rather than complaining about it, leverage the editing functionality provided in there to make the maps better for everyone.

  As counter anecdata, I've reported a concrete coatings company claiming to be inside of a post office. I've reported it several times over the course of several months and nothing has happened. See for yourself: https://goo.gl/maps/LvAZXpSJgURoUqYk8 https://goo.gl/maps/LvAZXpSJgURoUqYk8 And with the blackhole that is Google support, what's the point in feeding the beast? We're all better off using Open Street Map and not rewarding Google for their poor behavior.

    Their website lists their address as a PO box which is probably causing problems. Some automated process added the business to Maps and the only solution might be for the business to take action and claim the listing on maps and update it.

Android Auto was the biggest pain for me. I tried /e/OS, but for the life of me I couldn't get AA to work with MicroG.

Have you tried https://www.magicearth.com https://www.magicearth.com? I’m using it on iOS where it supports Car Play. From a quick search it seems to me that it also supports Android Auto.
