A transmission is serviced when the transmission fluid is drained, the filter is replaced and checked for metal shavings in the pan. Transmission fluid is then replaced and checked for leaks and test driven. There might be more involved if there are metal shavings.

one of two things you could have a transmission fluid exchange (which is recommended on most newer vehicles) done which will transfer at least 16 quarts of oil through your transmission or you could have the transmission pan dropped the filter changed and then topped off.. the first one would be your best bet it actually changes 99% of the fluid rather than 60% of the fluid when you drop the pan....
Note* don't have your transmission flushed could cause long term damages make sure it is transfered via your transmission fluid pump not a outside pump to flush the fluid.

Nothing. It always means nothing when somebody says they "serviced" a machine. You have to know what they were asked to do.
Transmissions don't require periodic service, so we really don't know. An oil change might be a guess, but it's a guess.

They take off the pan, clean it out, replace the filter and refill it. You replace anywhere from 30% to 75% of the fluid depending on what type of transmission it is and if it's front or rear wheel drive.
