You don't need to drain your tranny. Don't listen to those other retards. Just check the dipstick. If its reddish-pink then the fluid is clean and new. If he did the tranny flush then he did the fuel cleaning too because that's easier. The fuel system cleaning is by the way, a lot more than just an additive thrown in the tank.

You're going to need to drain your transmission again and check the color of the fluid. Old fluid will appear very dark. The fuel cleaning system as he calls it is your fuel filter. Check to see if that is new.
parts for all of this should be around $50.
Edit:
I don't know about a Nissan Maxima but I welcome some input on where the dipstick is located in my car cause I only see the motor oil dipstick. 2002 BMW 325i. How do I, a retard, check the dipstick if I don't have a dipstick?

Hard to do. unless your car has a tranny plug you would have to take off the pan. Next time you get a service, if you cant watch him doing the change... ask for a sample of the old oil, or if there is no plug, get him to give you the old seal and filter, then compare it with one from a parts store.
typically a fuel system cleaning is just an additive that they put in the tank.

You need to watch them do it. You'll just have to take his word on the fuel system cleaning. I'm not sure why anyone would take the pan off the transmission to check the fluid when you can just look at the color of the stuff on the dipstick.

Keep an eye on him.:-) that's the simplest of ways.
