I'm looking to weigh my car, is there anywhere to do this around philly wwhithout going to e-town??

how about a dump? you can probably get on the scales at any dump as they normally weigh you on the way in and the way out to see how much you left behind. other than that not sure but this is the method i've heard from other people.

peteyturbo · 08-24-2008, 09:28 PM

I was a bit skeptical after reading the first sentence of your post, I wasn't trying to lose weight lol.
But yeah thats a good idea but I would think they have alot of crap laying around that could pop my tire or something..I guess I'll see what I can dig up.

There's a stone company along Route 1, Langhorne Stone, that has a scale in front of their office. It's right by the Highland Ave exit by Langhorne Speed Shop. Pretty cool people, stop by and I'd bet they'd let ya weigh in.

I have driven trucks to a bunch of quary's and they have scales at them too. No worries about popping tires!

ScubaSteve · 08-24-2008, 10:58 PM

I think r/t tuning has scales as well.

**TROLL** · 08-24-2008, 11:11 PM

Well its not what I was getting at, but if you take a dump before you go to the dump you might be more pleased with your numbers

.
Let us know where you end up going, I'm curious about where the best place is also.

Metal scrap yards. Franklin Metals on Rt 13. Throw them a couple bucks and I am sure they will do it.

underpressure02 · 08-25-2008, 10:45 AM

Do you just want to know the weight of the car or are you trying to corner balance it? I have scales to corner balance a car if that is what you are looking for.

C'DALERIDER · 08-25-2008, 11:07 AM

+1 for quary's. One by me on rt 29 in Great Valley charges me nothing. BTW, the wagon was 3392lbs w me (210lbs am i). lol. No idea what the STI is, . I think Andy told me his was 3398 with out him in it. Maybe the scale stinks.

Vince@R/TTuning · 08-25-2008, 11:15 AM

we charge 60 bucks for full weight, corner weights, front and rear, and cross weights as well....we can do this at any time as well....let me know

just an FYI if you do get scales you need to be on a perfectly level surface for you to use the corner weights for accuracy....

alwaysinboost · 08-25-2008, 11:48 AM

R/T tuning can corner balance you and all that.

but if you're just looking for a GVW there is a place near me, in Telford, called moyer and sons. they're open 24/7 and have a public scale right by their gas pumps. I used to weigh my cars there all the time and its certified by the PA dept of weights and measures. it will even print you out a recepit

Do you charge 60 bucks to corner balance someones car or just to weight their car?

peteyturbo · 08-25-2008, 06:06 PM

Vince@R/TTuning · 08-25-2008, 06:06 PM
