They probably intended to blow you off
And that may well be the cure for your problem !
(Dust collection, causing bad airflow, thus overheating.)

Clean the dust, hair and other crap out of the fan cavity and off the
heat transfer fins. If you're lucky it will have screws to open the
fan compartment like my old HP did. If not it will be a bit more work
taking the case apart.

Obtain a can of air-in-a-can.

Blow air into the ventilation holes and watch the crud/dust/hair fly.
Can you hear the fan spin up when blown with the air? If yes then the
fan is free to spin.

This blow-out may cure the problem.

If the fan is worn out it may be necessary to open the case, clean out
more crud and replace the fan.
Maybe treat the heatsink to some new thermal compound too...

Some laptops are easy to open/disassemble; some are a real pain.
