    I avoided being sold a transmission flush a few months ago at a Big O Tires. When are transmission flushes actually indicated, and aren't they usually included in the 30k, 60k, or 90k services?

    It depends on the car. Check your owner's manual. In general, the intervals for transmission flushes are being pushed back. Many cars are going to 100k miles before requiring this service.
