did you put enough back in? ie are you checking the level under the correct conditions? have you got airlock in the cooler or something?

it was done by a reputable automotive repair/service shop but i don't mind to check it again. how can i check the automatic tranny fluid?

Lift the bonnet, find your automatic transmission. 99% of automatic transmissions have a dipstick, some don't. Find the dipstick. Go and start your car, placing the car in Neutral. Make sure you are parked on a flat, level surface while you are at it.

Pull the dipstick, give it a wipe. Re-insert the dipstick, and pull it clear. Make sure you are in good, strong light, as sometimes the fluid is quite hard to see. You may need to wipe your finger down the dipstick if you can't see the fluid. Check both sides, take your reading from the side with the lowest level.

It should read between the two levels (usually reads cold at the bottom and hot at the top). Don't worry about it unless the levels are below cold, or above hot markings.
