Thanks Dion for a professional and concise report of our car and van. Your knowledge, expertise and advise has given us a clear understanding of our limitations for when we go away. Highly recommend Weighstation and Dion to make sure you know you are legal.

Great Service from Dion to weigh our van and car today. Very comprehensive breakdown of all of the measurements taken and all done in the driveway at home. I can relax now that I know that everything is within the compliance measurements and that there's even some room to pack a bottle or two on our next trip. Thanks Dion.

Exceptional service and Value for money. Mac and Dion were very professional and really easy to work with. Definitely recommend anyone with a caravan to get the guys out to check your weights. Worth every dollar.

We now know for sure our weights and what our options are. No more guessing or fronting up to public weigh bridges with unknown variances.We feel far better and confident knowing we are compliant.

We did this as a safety check after fully kitting out our Ranger with a Trayon slide on camper and gear to travel outback. It was a very good experience. Booking was easy and flexible, and the weighing itself was uncomplicated, precise and complete. Mac provided a clear explanation of the calculations and weights and offered expert advice about loading limits. Recommended.

Thanks to the guys at Emu for recommending “Weigh Station”, Mac was super knowledgeable, provided a great service and the very comprehensive report is definitely a lot more valuable than the basic receipt you receive at a public weigh station. Worth the money

To blustery/ sun showered city that is Ballarat Mac travelled today - and what a service did he provide. From the friendly approach, clear level of knowledge and his ability to explain it in a way that made sense - I could not fault him or the service he provides. The fam and I are off on a trip around Aus, we can rest assured that we are well within our weight limits and set up right. Thanks again.

Fantastic weighing service, Mac the owner is a pro. weights are down to the kilo. Tells you all the individual wheel weight and overall vehicle weights. GCM GVM etc. Then the report is printed out and easy to understand. Then Mac goes over the whole process . excellent highly recommended.

I can thoroughly recommend Mac's weigh station services, in fact, I believe they should be mandatory for anyone towing a heavy van for the sake of safety and an understanding of what is required and why.Mac was great to deal with and I feel happy that I have the information required to ensure the safety of my caravan and vehicle set up.Thanks Mac, I will be sure to recommend you in my travels.

Can't speak highly enough of Mac and WeighStation. I wanted peace of mind in terms of safety and knowing that my rig was compliant (who wants to be put off the road for weight problems). Mac discovered that my rig was overweight as it was, but advised on how redistribution between caravan and car could help, without having to jettison too much. I would advise anyone embarking on a road trip to have their rig checked by Mac. Stay safe!

Thanks Mac, good job.I highly recommend your services to anyone needing to satisfy the compliance requirements of towing caravans and trailers

This is a very thorough and professional service provided with the provider obviously well versed and expert in the field (and very ready to provide any remedial advice required). A very thorough report is provided together with expert advice. The portability of the equipment enables the service to come to you, negating the inconvenience of having to hook up and tow, often a considerable distance, to a fixed weighbridge.I would recommend this service to all caravan owners, as interstate enforcement becomes more intense in recent years. I thought I was comfortably within all weight limits but found my complacency to be misplaced. Even though the margins of my errors were not large and can be remedied fairly easily, had I been picked up on the road while touring, it would have put me to severe inconvenience.Well worth the modest cost involved, which is much less than any fine which might be imposed for non-compliance.

How lucky were we to win a door prize of a vehicle and caravan weigh through Weigh Station at the Masterpiece Caravan Muster held last March in Deniliquin.From our first contact with Mac we found him to be friendly, professional, extremely helpful and a wealth of knowledge.At the conclusion of the weigh, which took approximately one hour, Mac presented us with a detailed report.This has really taken the ‘guess’ work out for us and we can now feel safe in the knowledge that we are weight compliant – truly a worthwhile exercise and extremely important for those of us living and travelling in our vans full time. We highly recommend leaving the public weigh bridges for the trucks!

Had weights for Tow vehicle, van and tow ball. took 2 hours at a cost of $250. Mac was professional and patient. Very professional in his approach and explained things in an easily to understand manner. Highly recommended for anyone who is towing a Caravan.

We could not recommend Mac more highly, he is fabulous to deal with, professional and prompt with the report.The weigh process was thorough, informative and has given us complete peace of mind that our van is towing at the right weight and is balanced correctlyWe think Weigh Stations service should be mandatory for all vans, if nothing else it gives you the knowledge you need to be as safe as you can possible be on the roadThanks so much Mac we will be recommending you to everyone we know.

Mac came to our place in Badger Creek and greeted us with a smile and the new elbow bump hello. He went through carefully what he would need to do to get an accurate reading on the car and the van and then proceeded to get things moving, all the time chatting about various bits and pieces. It took about 1.5 hours to complete but at the end we were provided with a great report that is extremely detailed but still simple enough for the layman to understand - which to us was brilliant. The report is in colour, simple to understand and gives weights for all categories in both car, caravan and of course combined weights.We would highly recommend Mac and Weigh Station to all caravan and Motorhome owners..

Great service and Mac is very knowledgeable on the weighing of cars and vans. I learnt a lot. Hopefully others with fully packed cars and vans do the same as I did and get checked out.

Mac from Weigh Station came up to Broadford and weighed my car and caravan. I found him to be very knowledgeable, thorough and professional throughout the entire process, which lasted about 90 minutes. Mac answered all my questions and provided some really good explanations of the multitude of terms and acronyms used in this area. Having Weigh Station come to me simplified the whole process as well.Once finished I was provided with a 3 page report (hard copy and electronically) that showed everything and was easy to read. The report will make it easy to refer back to in the future.I highly recommend everyone with caravans to get them weighed, and in my opinion Weigh Station is the obvious choice to do it.Do yourself a favour and give Mac a ring.

Mac is great to deal with. Knows his stuff and gives you clarity and direction on ways to solve any problems. We would highly recommend his services.

Mac runs a fantastic service that a can say is an absolute must if you have a caravan and use it for any matter of travel.I had been using weigh bridges for months during the planning and preparation of our extended trip, my experience with these weigh bridges now (after using Weigh Statin) is they are a guide at best!Mac's accurate service showing a difference of 100kg when he properly measured the tow ball mass this making a massive difference to my GVM in combination.Mac spent time with us shifting cargo around, reviewing weight results as we went to find the best packing strategy for our setup. This was absolutely awesome and takes the guess work out.I highly recommend his service, a must for responsible car and caravan owners.

Our group of the 3 vehicles and caravans used Weigh Station to check our weights and we were very pleased with the service, efficiency and advice. Mac was knowledgable and we all came away with insights we had not known. Highly recommend their services, no matter how much you think you know.

Steve Murphy

21:23 07 Oct 19

We had Mac come out to weigh our van and car prior to going on the road full time. We’d previously used public weigh stations a couple of times and thought we were close to our limits.Turns out we are under by quite a bit with some room to move. Mac explained all aspects of the process in simple terms and also helped us to eliminate many of the common myths you hear of. Highly recommend this service for anyone towing a load. It’s peace of mind.

Lynne Wilson

12:36 23 Jul 19

Mac is absolutely precise and very thorough, he explainedeverything in a language that we clearly understood . We feel totally comfortable with the knowledge that we know for sure that we are within our legal and safe towing limits . Thanks Mac

We also met Mac at the Mornington show and booked in to get our car and caravan weighed.He met us at our place and we went to a local oval for our weigh in.He was very professional and helpful explaining everything.We were just about right with just a few minor changes suggested and are now ready for a trip.Highly recommend Mac he make a very confusing set of numbers and acronyms easy to understand .

Tim Warner

00:53 06 Apr 19

We met Mac at the Mornington Caravan Show and booked in.Very courteous and professional and reasonably priced. For me it was money well spent, as it was all guess work. Now I know where I stand for both car and van.In my view, weighing should be mandatory for all van owners.

Terry Huddleston

22:41 29 Mar 19

Thanks for a great professional job Mac!We had WEIGHSTATION come to our home to have our van and tow vehicle weighed after hearing horror stories about problems people had with their rigs not being legal for safety and insurance coverage. Mac did a great, thorough job weighing and explaining everything in detail to make sure the we understood all the weighs, etc.We can now travel knowing that our van and tow vehicle comply with regulations and safety levels. We will keep the detailed print-out and report in the van at all times just in case we need it while on the road.You can be sure that we'll spread the word about your terrific service, Mac!Thanks again!

Helena Clark

09:38 07 Mar 19

Ian saved the day. Thank you for coming to our house so quickly. We can now go camping with a load taken off our mind. Nice to know we are legal. You explained everything in detail and made sure we understood all the weights etc. thanks again

Geoff Peterson

02:57 28 Feb 19

Yesterday we had our tow vehicle and large caravan weighed by Weigh Station. Mac was very professional and provided us with not only a verbal description of all weights compared to the compliance plates on both tow vehicle and caravan he also provided a print out of individual and combined weights.The whole process was seamless and very professional. The whole process took about an hour and a half.We now have a print out which will be kept in our car when ever travellingwith the van and more important for insurance purposes if ever needed.We are a retired couple who enjoy travelling in our caravan and know nothing about TARE,GTM,ATM,TBM,GVM, and GCM. We now have this detailed report to put our minds at ease.Thanks Mac you were brilliant.

22:43 24 Feb 19

In preparing for our extended trip, we were concerned that our caravan and Landcruiser were going to be overweight. We contacted Mac at Weigh Station and organised for him to come out to our home. Although it takes some time from start to finish, the entire process was seamless. Mac was thoroughly engaging and professional, he fully explained the processes involved and demystified all the jargon and acronyms with ATM's, GCM's etc. We received printouts of all the individual weights including schematics which made it easy to comprehend and understand. As it turned out, we were over allowable weight limits in both the caravan and vehicle, so some adjustments have had to be made. All in all, well worth going through this process. Thanks Mac.
