Where do you guys go to get coolant system presure tested?

I am thinking my drivers side head gasket might be leaking, number 7 cyl primarly. What kinds of places presure test cooling systems.

Thanks,
James

Go to Autozone and rent a pressure tester. Just remove your radiator cap when your engine is cool and put the pressure tester where your radiator cap was. Twists on the same, then use the pump to pressurize the system. Look at the gauge and pump untill the pressure gets to what is rated for your cap. Then leave it for at least a half hour and check to see if the pressure is dropping or holding steady. If it is dropping, check for leaks. It is pretty easy
