I don't think it is their mistake but the mistake of whoever installed
the first AC. It was not the right place to put it. Your room has 4
windows so it must have a window or wall you can put the AC in.
(Unless all the windows look out on the garage. )

Even if the installation to the garage were staightforward, in an open
wall with no closet, it would heat up the garage and lower the
efficiency of the AC. Even if one opened the garage door all the time
the AC was on, and that would help, well, there would never be a
breeze across the AC, but maybe it would still be acceptable. But in
practice, there will be times when one doesn't want the garage door
open and times when one forgets or someone is staying at the house who
doesn't know this rule, etc. AC's aren't meant to come out in the
garage.
