buying a 2016/2017 questions

Question,
if the carfax is not showing a transmission flush service and the car has 93,000.
Will I be safe to have the transmission flushed at a dealership?
It could have been done at an independent OR at home as well.

What do you guys suggest?

Could have been done anywhere. It should state who did the work.

Carfax didn't specify a transmission flush, but all other services were done on time at the dealer.
I actually just got home from picking up the car. Drives nice, a little vibration at 65 miles.
I' intend to take it to the dealer for a transmission flush and differential fluids change.
@93,500. what else should I have done...thanks!

Have them check both (left and right bank) cam seals and reseal it.They tend to leak motor engine oil.

Here is the link to the cam seals discussion
