Coolant and Transmission Flush

Purchased a 2001 Cl 500and I am not too sure when the coolant and transmission fluid was changed or the system was fllushed. I recently had the B service completed, but I did not see anything on the receipt stating a coolant or tranny flush I have 56000 miles on the vehicle. I would appreciate the advice....FYI....I recently purchase a 4000 extended warranty and it already pais for itself TWICE!!!! 9000 dollars of work and counting ( very little out of pocket)...

Out of interest, what work have you had done to date?

If its not on the receipt, I bet they didn't' do it, and knowing mercedes garages these days, probably haven't ever changed it........get it looked at by an independent, also have they bothered to change the break fluid and aircon gas recently? If the gas has not been changed, get it done at the next service, else you could end up with lots of leaks, as it has lubricator in the gas, which keeps the rubber seals in good condition.
