Oh come on now. I'm clueless on cars, but I know not to touch that cap. Just popped the hood and let everything cool. Thankfully I was only a mile from home. Costs me about thirty bucks for the thermostat. It's not a new car so no dealership.
Luckily I have a friend who is good with cars. Your advice and concern is appreciated though.
Actually, staying away from any garage that has anybody with the title "Service Writer" is a good idea. These are the people who are paid not to know much about cars but to know a great deal about upselling for additional profit.
Also, after an overheating incident, check the hoses (they're the easiest and cheapest to check and replace, so don't change the water pump and miss a leaky hose) and the radiator itself. And to assure yourself nothing catastrophic happened, check the coolant and oil (you're looking for oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil) and make sure you do not get white smoke out the exhaust. Any of those suggests a blown gasket (yes, that's where "don't blow a gasket" comes from).
