This is according to metro spokesperson Themba Gadebe, who said that, since its inception in December, the Licensing Business Desk has managed to generate income to the value of millions, through major customers such as Barloworld, Avis, major banks and motor dealerships, as well as the taxi industry.
“Previously a function restricted to the Post Office, the city has provided a viable alternative to the bulk vehicle registration services,” Gadebe said.
“The Licensing and Registration Business Desk aims to increase revenue for the metro, as well as to build solid relations with major motor industrialists, while creating a favourable environment to register their vehicles in bulk.
“The intervention has brought to a halt the days of waiting for weeks to get vehicle registration documents done and reduced the turnaround time to within three days.
“The idea behind the establishment of the centre is to offer convenience and specialised services to our bulk customers, by creating a one-stop shop for all their vehicle registration needs.
“The centre also provides an element of financial security, as it is a cash-free zone, meaning transactions are done through EFT.”
Operating hours for the Licensing and Registrations Business Desk, situated in Kempton Park, are Monday to Friday, from 8am to 4.30pm. – @NalediBoksburg
