Around November 2020, I was driving my 2016 Range Rover sport in the highway and a rock hit my windshield and made a crack at the center of the windshield. I called the landrover dealership in Manhattan to have the windshield replace (I waited several weeks for this appointment). I am not sure why i thought the dealership would be replacing the windshield, turns out they outsource the work. The vendor they use is Liberty Auto Glass in queens. Since Landrover use this company, I thought they must be good BUT I was wrong. Here is when my nightmare began. Geico (who was amazing throughout this whole ordeal) covered the job 100%. When Liberty called me they told me Geico would not cover it, so I called Geico and they sent Liberty the approval that they would pay 100%, liberty confirmed at that point that they wouldn't charge my credit card BUT they did anyways. Geico then intervened and it took Liberty several days to refund me the money. But if that had been it and they had done a good job, the charging of my credit card would be just a misunderstanding. I picked up my car and I noticed their was massive air and water coming in through the driver side of the windshield. I called Liberty and went there the next day to have it fixed, I drove to Queens and waited two hours for them to fix it. I drove out and once again the car was still leaking and very noisy. So I called and they told me their guy Junior(his name), who is the Landrover expert and was away the last two weeks would be looking at the car. The lady at Liberty Glass tried to say Landrover had a recall on their windshield (THIS IS A HUGE LIE), we called CORPORATE LANDROVER.
We then drop off the car now for a third time to Liberty Auto Glass in Queens, waited 3 hours. Junior removed the glass and supposedly fixed it. We drove away, only to have the same issue except it got worse now i was having cabin pressure issues inside the car so my ear was popping all the time, almost as if I was in an airplane all the time. This was now a health risk!!!! I notified Geico about this issue, they contacted Liberty Glass and said they would call me to try and fix the problem (because they are supposed to guarantee the work) but they never did. At this point I took it to the Landrover dealership in White Plains (these guys are great, they are part of auto nation AND DO not work with Liberty Glass.
They work with Binks Auto Glass in Connecticut. Geico, Landrover and everyone else that saw the car were all perplexed on what had happened. Geico was amazing, they were so disturbed they offered to pay for the whole job again at a different vendor, I chose Binks Auto Glass.
The problem was worse than we thought, Liberty Auto Glass not only destroyed my headliner, damaged the front two pillars, then covered it up but adding too much sealant. but all the trimming, we had to replace everything. (See the pictures). We documented everything with Geico and everywhere we went.
After weeks of enduring not only the loss in time but serious health implications, we finally picked up the car from Binks Auto Glass hoping our nightmare would be over and now after driving the car for a few weeks, at last problem solved!! THIS WAS A WORKMANSHIP ISSUE NOT A CAR ISSUE. BINKS AUTO GLASS are professional and know what their doing. So the best thing I can do is write this review for those people who are having the same nightmare like this with Liberty Glass and don't know what to do, well i can with certainty recommend Binks Auto Glass.
Stay away from Liberty Auto Glass... AND TO Binks Auto Glass, if you ever see this review, Thank you for your help and I can't forget about Geico, they really fought for us. I hope this review helps someone else in the same situation. read more
