New lto testing

Not sure how this ended up in the comedy section as I thought there was a separate thread for emission testing....but seeing as we are here anyway - went to do the test on our acquired used bike yesterday at JVP on the By-Pass Road. I've read comments about going at 0700 and having to wait for hours with the overcrowding. We went at 1300, left the copy CR and were told to return in about 90 minutes. There were about a dozen or so waiting in front of us. We went for a leisurely coffee on the Boulevard, returned about an hour and 45 later and were attended to straight away. They even did three engine and chassis number stencils for use at the PNP/HPG for a few extra pesos. All quite relaxed.

Things for anyone going for the PNP/HPG check if acquiring a used vehicle to know - go there first (next to LTO) and ask them to run a quick database check. They will then provide a payment slip to take to Landbank (P300) and you return with receipt for the full check with the vehicle and engine and chassis number stencils. But bare in mind that Landbank are currently closing at 1230 daily 'due to Covid-19 sir'. Great idea - shorten the business hours so that everyone has to crowd into a shorter time period to do business. Wonder who thought that one up? Presumably someone fancying a half day's work each day.

One other thing (sorry Rye, you might want to move this). Someone posted a while ago that they bought their vehicle insurance from M Lhuiller. I tried, but was given every excuse under the sun as to why they could not do it (should have seen the panic on their faces when I said I would return the next day). In the event, I walked down the street and purchased from another broker for the same cost. After my Shopee return shipping experience at M Lhuiller, I won't be going there for anything else in a hurry.

Hope some of this helps those acquiring a used vehicle and not familiar with the process.

If you had read the 1st post you would understand why it was posted in the fun section as the lto are just one big joke!
