Ok ready for a story problem  I checked my notes, last year car weighed 3460# with Front runners and 1/2 tank of fuel. This year, 3530 with street tires on front(+16#ea.) plus 18# tool box in the trunk, that's 50lbs more, gas tank was 3/4 full,so plus 4 or 5 more gal. of fuel, 25 to 30 lbs more for a total diff of 75 to 80 lbs. I would say the scales were good

It doesn't hurt to check the scale reading before driving your car onto it, I have someone watch the scale readings before I step on it( if it is reading zero with no weight on it  ) and the decide if it matches my weight with my bathroom scale If there close I'll drive the car on to the front edge of the door and weigh the front weight, then the total weight and finally the rear wheel weight   I weighed my Duster on one of Oregon commercial truck scales and it weighed 3150 with me in it , I hauled the car to Las Vegas and it weighed (on there certified race scales), with no changes  3450 lbs with me in it with the same exact amount of fuel, completely full  Scales can vary from early morning until late afternoon Been there done that

Thanks for the replies I did not look at the readout before going on scale figured it would be at 0.

I have weighed my car many times there... I always
get out to check zero then I step on it to see if its
close to my weight... then drive on
