Car Wash question

A couple weeks back I went through an automated car wash to get rid of all the salt/grime covering my car. I normally just get the basic exterior wash, but the operators had it set to deluxe for everyone running through the system, which included an undercarriage wash.
As my car was getting it's undercarriage wash, there was a LOT of steam billowing from the engine compartment as the water boiled off my toasty hot engine (which was no longer running at this point). I was thinking to myself this CAN NOT be good for an engine. I'm not sure if the undercarriage water was hot or cold. I suppose I can ask next time I stop in. But I also have to believe that if this might cause a problem, they would never do this.
Any thoughts on getting the undercarriage of a car washed?
Thanks,
Kevin
