LTO New Plate Release

[boybi]

Hinde naman na kasi nila trabaho yan, meron naman liason officer/LTO department yun mga dealer. Doon na directly mag inquire dahil doon din naman magtatanong mga sales.

Wala difference yan na pag service eh diretso na sa service department

Di ba ang contract between the sales agent and customers ends only after delivery of the unit including everything that should come with it, i.e., OR/CR and number plates, and also whatever freebies. So it is still the responsibility of the sales agent to make followups for everything to conclude the sale.

The contract is between the customer and dealership. As Shadow mentioned, the dealership has a department which liaises with the LTO for the plates and that's why it is best to follow up with that department rather than the sales agent.

The contract does not end with the delivery of the unit since there are after-sales, warranty, etc.

I feel it is still the responsibility of the sales agent yan since he/she got commission for the sale. At least be responsible enough to make the followup with their liaison as an extra service for their customers.

Yes, it would be nice if they did but as Shadow also said, it is not their job.

As can be seen from other posts, it is more effective to go straight to the plates department to follow up.

that would probably depend on your relationship with the SA.
in my case, my SA always called me, "doc, nandito na plaka ninyo."
after all, he and the person responsible for the casa getting the plates, both work under the same roof. it is usually more effective in getting things done, to just walk into the office, than to call via phone.

Yes, I have always relied on my SA for everything about the car. From plates to scheduling/appointment of servicing, etc.

SA finally sent PDFs of the temporary CR and OR almost a month since they were submitted to the LTO. No plates yet.

Quick question: Is it now acceptable and/or legal to use some kind of metal frame on top of the registration plates?

All I want is just a way to protect/reinforce the plate, especially the one in front, as well as a means to hide the sharp edges of the plate and reduce injuries. I couldn't care less about the aesthetics.

dotc joint administrative order 2014-01.
"bawal".
anything that covers even a small part of the number plate, is not allowed. even clear glass or plastic covers.
BUT this applies only to the new (black and white) plates.
it is implied, that old (non-black and white) plates are not... included in the ban.
highs!

only in the philippines.

That's what I thought.

I asked because I have noticed a resurgence of these accessories on the road.

IMO, frames should be ok as long it doesn't cover any part of the plate number.

I do agree that acrylic or glass coverings shouldn't be allowed as it will interfere with the plate's reflective coating and eventually, the legibility of the plate number.

It is ironic that we're being punished for doing a good deed.

I think LTO is treating it like a slippery slope. Instead of defining the guidelines about what is acceptable, they just drew the line on the sand banning all of them... no questions asked. Trabahong Juan T.

My old, old car: This was taken a few months after the first time said accessories were banned.
