Compression test is just that, tests the compression of the engine. So how well the rings/valves are sealing the combustion chamber.
Leak down test is handy if you have low compression. You can tell if its the rings or valves that is allowing the engine to loose compression.
Most mechanic workshops should be able to do it, can't imagine it being more than $50.
