question about checking auto tranny fluid lvl

i got my trans flushed not too long ago by my work(goodyear) and it was done with a machine. i check my trans fluid time to time but wonder y the fluid doesnt even show up even at normal operating temp and the car turned off(which my work tells me that for hondas you turn off the car and leave it in neutral to check the auto trany fluid lvl). whenever i first check the lvl after shuting the car off the fluid lvl is perfect but when checking the 2nd time the fluid doesnt show up on the stick or very little is on it. is there something im missing or do i need more trans fluid?

check you owners manual, it will tell you exactly how to check your fluid, I believe you are suppose to wait 5 minutes after shutting the car to check it, but not sure, check the owners manual. If that is the case, you aare a little low.
