Default Magnum SE Transmission Question

Can anyone tell me about servicing a 2005 Magnum SE transmission? Is this something I can just take to my local auto repair who does transmission flushes to have done? Car has 95k miles on it. TIA

I have a 2006 Dodge Magnum Hemi R/T with 157k miles on it. The owners manual and some techs said that it is sealed and doesn't require servicing. A lube place tried to change it, they said they had a special tool for it, but I declined. I haven't had any problems or issues with mine at all. It's an automatic.
