It really depend on what kind of mileage you have. A low mileage car, I would suggest a flush. The higher the mileage, I would suggest dropping the trans pan, and replacing the filter and fluid.

I say do it at home..for some reason when i take it to the dealership I somehow end up with the "theres something else that needs to be done" crap.

I have mine flushed every 60k miles. I just hit 120k so it's time to have it done again. The auto-transmission seems to be the weak point in the Maxima as the motor is solid.
