Just got tranny flush and.....
The car runs same as before... here is the kicker...the fluid is just as brown as it was before and it has about 1/2 inch too much on the stick measuring with the car running in park...so i know they put something in it... does anyone think i got ripped off or did the fresh fluid just get brown after driving it for about 50 miles???

Sounds like they dropped the transmission drain plug, drained it and refilled it. The remaining oil in the torque converter has diluted out the fresh oil.
(you can do this at home for the price of 4 qts of oil)
If you paid for a full oil flush you might want to talk to them.

and not knowing the history of the car.
he could be at 60k+ miles and still have the original fluid thus its just a brown as before. if he smelled the trans fluid it will have a very distinct smell. not a burned 1
