If this local garage has not done that there will be air locks and local boiling in the engine which may have damaged it. That's why dealers charge what they do for the Knowledge and these special tools they have to buy..
Also if the car is pre 2017 they should fit a new EGR cooler as it is an improved one with larger channels.
I would get it filled properly by someone who knows what he is doing and see how it goes...Although steam out the exhaust is bad..
I would go to the garage and ask to see there and then the vacuum tool they used to refill the coolant on your previously good engine.👍
