Seafoam is your friend. There are a few threads in Motors about it. Just otu of curiosity, what chain did the service? Most will run it so that no smoke appears that could scare the customer (there's absolutely no way to convince someone who knows nothign about cars that the cloud of white smoke is a good thing, and actually better than no smoke at all.)

If your transmission is slipping, you're fucked, anyway. You should have had the preventative maintenence done so it didn't get that way. You also have waaaaay too much faith in people if you think that the average driver will notice a gradually appearing mechanical problem.
