Get a price from an independent shop! Dealers prices are outrageous.
All the car gurus are quite helpful. The problems I found when taking the suggestions were. No one wanted to touch a hybrid ac. The compressor for the hybrid started around $1000.00 at a parts dealer because it was an electric motor type. I was told that Kia had a monopoly on hybrid ac repair. Thank all of you very much Think I,lol just take it to a dealer and see what they will give me for it in a trade. Thank you
UP DATE Tried several auto repair shops but no one wanted to touch except 1 Stewarts Auto Repair. Fixed a/c with used compressor cost $1020.00 better than dealer wanting $3600. Thanks Guru"s Your All Helpful
