The live service page is /scale-calibration-houston. This post explains the difference between calibration and repair so you can request the right job.
All Scales USA, 21249 FM 529 Rd, Cypress, TX. (832) 766-5410 · (281) 656-2666 · (832) 290-3120. pete@allscales.com.
What calibration does
Calibration compares what the scale shows to a known reference. If the scale is mechanically sound, the technician can adjust it so the display matches the reference. That is a measurement check, not a parts swap.
What repair does
Repair fixes a fault: a load cell that will not repeat, a cut cable, a dead indicator, a platform that rubs the frame, moisture in a junction box. After the fault is gone, the scale still needs to be checked against a reference.
When shops mix the two up
A scale that will not zero, that drifts, or that disagrees corner to corner is often a repair first. Paying for a calibration on a broken cell wastes the visit. Send photos and the error code so we can say which job it looks like.
What we will not claim here
We do not claim ISO/IEC 17025 or A2LA
We do not publish hours, years in business, or a county radius on this page
We do not treat on-site vs in-shop as a fixed policy here — say whether the scale can move
We do not do truck scales, pit scales, axle scales, or livestock weighbridges
What to send
Make, model, capacity, whether it can be moved, location, legal-for-trade need, rental need, and photos. House crane kits are MNM Scales kits; send the capacity if that is what you have.
Then use the live page: Request Houston calibration.
