Gollum Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hey, I've got some free time this weekend (unusual) and wanted to see if I could find a place to weigh my 280Z. Anyone know of anywhere in the easy bay? I'll also be down in san leandro saturday morning/early afternoon, so pretty much anywhere around there up to fairfield is a reachable area for me. I know some of you guys go to truck scales, but: A) I don't trust them, as they're measureing giant multi ton vehicles The highway scales here frown upon cars comming in and normally tell them to leave. C) Possibly the biggest factor, I'm not the most outgoing person and would feel awkward telling a truck scale to weigh my car for no real reason. So does anyone know of someone in the bay that does car specific weighing or has some wheel scales? I'd really like to get a 4 point weight of my car now before doing anything to it.

auxilary Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 yep. off delacruz blvd, there's a street called Roberts in San Jose, by the airport. The street loops, but at the bottom of the loop there's a recycling yard, and an accurate scale (within 20 lbs) on the sidewalk. pull up in hte evening, it's pretty clear, and readout is across the street in a booth window. In the pic, hte bmw is on t he scales map: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=robert+ave,+san+jose,+ca&sll=37.36545,-121.941204&sspn=0.020704,0.04549&ie=UTF8&z=16&iwloc=addr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 How'd I KNOW you'd be the first to respond. I should have just asked you directly to begin with. I'll keep the san jose local on the backburner. Would love something about 20-40 miles farther north though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdfMF Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Gollum, Check out building materials yards. The places that sell sand, gravel and rocks. South Bay Materials in San Jose has one. I'll be going there this week. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COZY Z COLE Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 http://www.svfga.com/.... Public scale one mile west of I-80 at Fairfield. Don't know if they started their Sat. Summer hours yet. Give them a call. I used this scale for cars before.... LARRY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 Thanks for the input guys. I didn't realise the scales on I-80 were public, I work less than 2 miles from there. They also have a scale at my work they convinced me to try. I work at a precast concrete company and they have scales for their trucks. So i'll try that out, see if the numbers add up. I'd really prefer full four corner weights though. I guess beggers can't be choosers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
