Check your bathroom scale, or maybe Publix.

Oh you mean weigh your car? I've heard of people using a truck scale on the highway or a junkyard scale (at a junkyard they use the scale to charge you by the pound of junk you dropped).

I had my car weighed on a certified scale at a truck stop on US 301 just north of Hillsborough ave. in Tampa. Probably out of your way but it will be accurate. Costs 8 bucks. It's a 2 plate scale so you may be able to get a front/rear weight. I didn't ask though.

yes, it's next to volvo village. I went there twice and both times I was told they couldn't weight my car. Once was on a Saturday, the guy said they don't run the scales on Saturday. The other time was around 11:30 on a week day and the guy said he was the only person there and he couldn't put me on the scale.

I think they cater to trucks and weigh cars if they fell like it. Cophers/LG yards have scales and will usually weight your car.
