What kind of film was left in the hot car? If the film is black and white, you're pretty much in the clear. When film is exposed to heat, it is only the dyes that break down, not film itself.
If the film was color, there could be some muddled colors, depending on the grade of film. Consumer grade film tends to be a little heartier when it comes to heat exposure, while Professional Grade film tends to be a little more fragile. If you were using just some Kodak or Fuji 100 or 200, it should fare alright. Something in a Fuji Velvia 50 ISO Color Slide, the results would be brutal.
Also note that there could be additional damage should the film be in direct sunlight vs. in a hot car in the shade.

One exposure to heat probably won't change the film enough for you to be able to see the difference.
The biggest change would be a slight color shift, which can easily be filtered out during printing.
But you shouldn't use the film for anything important such as a commercial shoot or a wedding, just in case.
