Look in your owner’s manual (if you have one). Basically spark plugs, engine coolant, engine air filter, timing belt & water pump, transmission fluid and brakes/brake fluid are the biggies.

You can always take this thing to your mechanic and express your concerns. You should hook up with a good mechanic for your maintenance needs, not some quick oil change place.

As far as things to check:  
-Tire pressure  
-Transmission fluid level and condition  
-Oil level  
-Engine coolant level  
-Battery age & condition

Repair any known leaks, get any needed preventative maintenance caught up, and you should be good to go. Have fun and good luck.
