The heater blowing hot when turning is an indication of low coolant.
Just adding coolant to the overflow tank (if it really is an overflow tank) will not get coolant into the radiator and engine.
If the plastic tank has a screw on type pressure cap, then it is not an overflow tank, but an integral part of the cooling system. That should have gotten coolant into the system unless it was so hot it steam pressured it back out. But it would have been very hot, churning and boiling, doesn't sound like that was happening.
Chances are it is loosing coolant somewhere, possibly a hose, water pump, radiator. etc. A pressure test will likely reveal the problem. Depending on how hot it got, the thermostat may have been damaged from overheating. Worst case, a head gasket or head problem.
Beware of the dealer! You may have a good one, but they have a reputation for price gouging. If it doesn't sound right, get a second opinion elsewhere.
