Perhaps you damaged the cooling system - check it out. Check the oil level while you are at it.

So you assume that they filled it with oil? Famous last words..............................

Check out your cooling system for proper fill level and the absence of obvious leaks (after you check the oil level as FOR suggested). If your coolant level is low, you will need to add some back but if it is leaking, you will need to determine where it is coming from. If you went into a ditch, it may be you knocked your lower radiator hose loose or did damage to your water pump.

    I've had the cooling system flushed out, then I put in a new radiator and a new water pump, but I still have problems with the car running too hot. Any other ideas I could try? Thanks.
