If your talking about a under body water wash then I believe any Exxon gas station with the $8 wash option should give you that option.
or
go to a selfwash place I believe they use a pressure washer there.

The obvious answer is find access to a lift and pressure washer. If you can't do that then I'm not sure where to send you since it's so close to the ground.

Step one:
Gain access to the under-body of your car, do this by jacking, lifting, or driving over a grease pit.
Step two:
Get power washer
Step three:
Spray areas in need of washing
Step four:
Put wheels back on ground
Step five:
Drive away
Step six:
Repeat as needed or desired

Pressure washer? They work

Jack up one side hella high and spray Purple Power or an equivalent degreasing agent. Let it break the gunk build up down. Then spray with pressure washer. I would probably where some safety goggles / glasses and a poncho though...

Repeat till clean(er)

I just did this the exact same way except I hooked the pressure washer up to a hot water faucet. It ate years of grime off in a mtter of seconds. Couldnt have been easier.
