SF Bay: where can I weigh my car ?
Is there a trick to get a car's weight measured in the SF Bay Area ?
I assume that the CHP truck scales on highways are not a good idea, so what are the alternatives ?

A grain elevator, truck weigh station, junk yard, but these scales have 1-200# variation built in, so a little inaccurate.
Most drag strips will have very accurate scales, but you are better off getting an estimated weight when corner balancing as willis mentioned.

I think if you do a search, you'll find many discussions in the past about the benefit (or lack thereof) of corner balancing. Basically, it's a way of further fine-tuning your suspension set-up. Along the way, you find how the weight of the car.

i took my supra in 1.5 years ago to get coilovers put on. afterwards, thee tires kept hitting the inner fender and CA refused to see the car for "3 weeks" - they're back wait. (never mind, they had just worked on the car 2 days prior and should have seen it just to fix it.)
fine, i'll look into it myself. what i found when i took off the wheel HORRIFIED me! the main bolt for the front A-Arm was just DANGLING! it was beyond loose.
never ever again.

If any of you guys locally in SF Bay area want to measure your corner weights I have a storage space in Pleasanton, you can all come around and mess around with the scales one Saturday Morning
I also have the Camber measuring tool
