A/C Repair Service for Your Kia Stinger

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Kia Stinger A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Kia vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2021 Kia Stinger A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Kia Stinger

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2021 Kia Stinger’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Kia Stinger A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Recharge the A/C in Your Stinger

While your 2021 Kia Stinger’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Next, they will evacuate the system according to Kia's recommendations. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2021 Kia Stinger A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Kia Stinger A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Kia Stinger A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2021 Kia Stinger? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Stinger’s A/C!

2021 Kia Stinger A/C System FAQs

  • How do I make my Stinger air conditioning colder? For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why is my Stinger A/C blowing hot air? An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Stinger’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  •  Does the A/C in my Stinger use gas?  The air conditioning system in your Stinger does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.
  • Why does the A/C in my Stinger smell like vinegar? It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your Stinger to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my Stinger’s A/C only work when the car is moving? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Stinger is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
