It's pretty basic and just a way to get money out of you.

-Oil change
-Check fluids
-Check belts
-Retorque lug nuts
-Check freezing point of coolant
-Laugh at any body damage or stupid mods

(I work for a Hyundai dealership)

Coolant should be fine at such low miles, but there is a tester you can buy. Insert the hose into your coolant resevoir and squeeze the ball, the arrow will tell you the freezing point...be sure to do this a few times to make sure you are doing it accurately.

Belts should also be fine, but check for anything obviously weird such as dirt, cracks, or cuts.

As for lugnuts, if you see rust near a lugnut, it means it is loose.

Hope this helps.
