Is it protocal to change out thermostat when adding freon?
you are getting ripped off. find another mechanic. my Chrysler Concorde started overheating when i added freon to the system . i replaced my thermostat twice and that didn't help. come to find out the electric fans didn't come on when my AC was turned on , have them check your fans to make sure they operate properly or you may have to replace them . you can get some high volume fans at the parts store that will help you better than the stock ones. you are not the only one with this overheating problem , many intrepid and Concorde have this problem which they failed to fix at the factory

You don't change the thermostat when adding freon. Totally different systems. There are many reasons for over heating. Hopfully your mechanic knows what he's doing and covers all the bases before condeming your cylinder heads. Good luck
If that's the same mechanic that changed your thermostat when he added freon you definitely need to get a new mechanic cause he don't have a clue or hes ripping you off.Some things that could cause overheating are a bad water pump or belt that runs the pump,a blocked up radiator from road debris or it needs flushed out or it could have a blown head gasket or a cracked head.
