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?

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.
