go to any local rubbish tip. Drive onto the main gate and ask how much your car weighs. Minus your weight and thats how much it weighs

I weighed mine at the Clayton dump when I went to dispose my used engine oil, I asked the lady there if I could get her to weigh the car and she was very friendly and helpful as well..... Took only like 2 seconds LOL!

yup probably best to go for a reason - if you turn up with nothing but a smartie attitude and demand they give your weight they can tell you to GTFO

just take 1 container of old oil or something its all good.

You dont have to say anything.

Generally at a tip there is an 'in' weigh bridge and an 'out' weigh bridge. The weight comes up on a big LCD display somewhere in front of you where you can see it. Just get your weight from the 'out' bridge, and minus the weight of the passengers. At least that's what i did
