Anyone know of a decent and cheap accountant. I have a basic simple tax return, I want someone who will give me the time of day to meet me and I can call him occasionally if I have a question so I can learn basics about my own tax return instead if just getting a final number?

Not the one on Mill Rd/ West Bway- apparently if you seem to be cleaning your car for Pesach, all regular washes are unavailable except for the $58 "Pesach Special".

The Shell one on Rock Tpke I'll never step foot in again. A few years ago I wanted to clean my little car before Pesach. I think the sign said $9.99 or whatever for a wash. First my wife washed her minivan for $9.99. A few days later I went inside to pay for my little cars wash and the guy wanted to charge me like $30 or $40 bucks!! I told him my wife paid $9.99 a few days ago and asked him what about the sign that says $9.99?!?!
The guy had he chutzpah to walk outside and place a towel over the sign.
I'll never go back there.


Not the hand wash on Rockaway Tpke either- Thats $42 for the Pesach special= $54 after tax  ???

Wife went in there and asked for a regular $17 job. They did it but refused to vacuum back row and trunk thingy in the minivan. Apparently you need to pay an extra ~$25 for them to vacuum the back row and truck.

I told her she should've just gotten another $17 regular wash- the second for the back row/ trunk vacuum.

And there's one in Inwood on Sheridan Rd/Burnside  that's decently priced and used to be okay. But all recent reports including my last year erev Pesach experience is that blind people seem to be doing the vacuuming. I think my car was dirtier afterwards.

So I'm out of local options too....

TR:
There was basically no wait. I pulled up and the guy right away started taking  care of my car. I asked him to do a full interior vacuum and he gave me a ticket for about $15 to pay inside. When I went in the guy by the counter asked if I want the regular treatment for $15 or the full "Pesach Special" for $49.99, when asked he said the difference is that the regular they just go over the interior superficially and clean the cup holders while for the Pesach Special they do a much more thorough job. I opted for the cheaper version  and figured I'll just go over it later at home with a vacuum to get out the last few crumbs stuck between the cracks.

Sounds like you could have saved those $15 as well  ::)

a) I could use a carwash once a year :)

b) They got rid of most of the dirt, it'll just take me a few minutes to go between the cracks etc.

Try Qcumbers. There may be a order minimum for Long Beach though.

If Uber is available, that might be cheaper.
