Movement That Inspires – Kia Service at Performance Prep LLC.
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. Performance Prep LLC runs a full A/C system check on your Kia to find the actual issue instead of guessing. Call (253) 927-2079 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. Performance Prep LLC can test whether your battery's still up to the job. Call (253) 927-2079 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. Performance Prep LLC can listen to it and tell you whether it's normal cold-start chatter or something that needs attention. We're open Mon-Fri: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM | Sat-Sun: Closed.
