DIY Dealership Coolant Change Air Lock issue

Williams Bolton attempted to change my coolant today...along with some other work. Dealership didn't want me to take the car home as it had overheated on a run due to an airlock in the collant they had just changed. Have seen car and looks ok and temp steady at halfway point.

Is this a common issue... They claim it is.

Yeah, its happened twice to me only the dealership didn't notice.

Keep an eye on your coolant level for the next couple of weeks. It will probably drop a bit, just top it up and you should be fine.
