Q: Hi, I have a 2012 Kia Sorento. The high pressure ac hose is needing replacement.

asked by on October 04, 2017

My AC high pressure hose is needing replaced. It's leaking freon. I've had it diagnosed and was told with parts and labor, it's going to cost 500+. Wanting to know if that's reasonable? Seems a bit excessive to me. This is a shop, not the dealership.

My car has 70000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
