Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does a Kia AC compressor replacement take at Meta Mechanics?
A: Most replacements are completed within 4-6 hours, including proper system flushing and testing.
Q: My Kia Sportage’s AC is weak after desert driving. Is it the compressor?
A: It could be a clogged condenser from sand/dust, a refrigerant leak, or compressor issues. Our technicians at Meta Mechanics will diagnose the exact cause first.
Q: Why replace the receiver-drier with the compressor?
A: The receiver-drier acts as the system’s filter. When a compressor fails, it clogs with debris. Not replacing it is the main reason new compressors fail quickly.

A: Yes, we provide comprehensive warranty coverage for your peace of mind.
Q: Can Meta Machines service both older and newer Kia models?
A: Absolutely! Our team works on all Kia generations, from classic models to the latest releases.
