The scale part is easy and cheap. Dan, we have a rock and stone retailer just N. of Deer Valley and about 21st or 22 Ave. They have a scale used to determine the weight of flag stone or whatever and a before/after check of the vehicle tells them what you loaded.

Every time I have taken a car there they are happy to trade a look at the car for a quick trip over the scale. If you don't need a printout have a pen and paper ready to record the readings. The scale display is on the side of the building and the numbers are about 24 inches tall. If they are not busy they let me roll the front axle on for a reading, then stop in the center of the scale for a gross weight and a quick rear axle weight as I pull the car to the end of the scale.

This method is not as precise as doing all 4 corners independently but works for me.
