Remove the wheels to inspect the brake rotor and pad condition. Check the condition of the engine belt and air cleaner.
Obviously you want some place that's reputable and will go over the entire car. It may be best to see exactly what you're working with and understand if there are any maintenance issues you might have to deal with either now or in the near future.
