I'm certain that your problem was air in the system. Perhaps your mechanic is not aware that he has to bleed the system once you change the thermostat and add coolant. I'm not sure about the extent of the damage but I will hold the mechanic liable. Also if ever the thermostat goes bad again, replace it right away. You should not be driving a car with a bad thermostat. Let us know how it turns out. Good luck!
