what do you mean by "did the usual open the thermostat"?
If your thermostat is stuck open than you will have no heat because the coolant will never get hot.

they are $10
But ask that place what they did. If that made the thermostat stick open, that is not a proper fix to the real problem of overheating. It's a half ass bandaid that only covers up the real problem while it gets worse.
