Why isn't my Kia's A/C blowing cold air?

Low refrigerant from a small leak is the most common cause, though a failing compressor or clogged cabin air filter can also be the culprit. Hunts Point Service Station runs a full A/C system check on your Kia to find the actual issue instead of guessing. Call (718) 991-8808 and we'll get it blowing cold again.

Why does my Kia's engine shut off at red lights, and is that normal?

Yes, that's Kia's Idle Stop-Go system automatically shutting the engine off to save fuel while you're stopped, then restarting it the instant you lift off the brake. It relies on a stronger starter and battery than a typical car, since it's cranking far more often, so a weakening battery often shows up first as ISG disabling itself rather than a slow start. Hunts Point Service Station can test whether your battery's still up to the job. Call (718) 991-8808 if you've noticed the system turning itself off.

Why does my Kia make a rattling noise on cold start that goes away after a few seconds?

That's often the timing chain tensioner taking a moment to build oil pressure and take up slack in the chain, a known trait on certain Kia engines. It's worth having checked rather than ignored, since a tensioner that's really worn can eventually let the chain skip timing. Hunts Point Service Station can listen to it and tell you whether it's normal cold-start chatter or something that needs attention. We're open Mon-Fri: 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM | Sat-Sun: Closed.

How to Improve Your Car’s Gas Mileage?

June 7, 2023
How to Improve Your Car’s Gas Mileage? Here are some of the things you can do to ensure improved gas mileage for your car: Driving Habits Keep your car clean. Mud on the undercarriage can weigh a significant amount and slow you down. Consolidate your daily trips and errands. This will also save you the cost of restarting your engine, which uses a lot of gas. Avoid air conditioning when possible. However, when driving at higher speeds, having your windows open also creates drag. Don’t throttle the gas or brake pedal! Sudden starts or stops use more gas than gradual changes in speed. Don’t idle for too long. Turn off the engine if you anticipate a lengthy wait. Limit car warm-ups in winter. Clear out the trunk. More weight equals more drag. Avoid high speeds. We know this is almost impossible to resist but you can improve your gas mileage by up to 15 percent driving at 55 mph rather than 65 mph. Use overdrive. If your car is equipped with overdrive gearing use it as soon as your speed is high enough. Use cruise control. Maintaining a constant speed is ideal for improving your gas mileage. Servicing Your Vehicle Replace the spark plugs in your engine regularly. This way, the air and fuel mixture will burn cleaner and more efficiently. Improve the intake/output system. By allowing gas to get in and exhaust out of your vehicle you will improve the vehicle’s overall performance and gas mileage. Reduce friction. Use high-quality or synthetic motor oil. Check your oil! Low oil makes your engine work harder. Change your filters. Dirty filters can sometimes increase the amount of fuel your vehicle uses by as much as 10 percent. Keep tires properly inflated and aligned. Check regularly to ensure your wheels are fully inflated and your alignment is good. Get regular engine tune-ups and car maintenance checks. A lot can go wrong with a car. Damaged spark plugs or transmission problems can also contribute to poor gas mileage.
