Default _Bring her to my mechanic? Good idea or wait?_

Bought a 99'ss ( yeah yeah yeah I don't want to hear it ) and I'm her second owner. The previous owner had her garaged for a little less then a year. He put her away at the beginning of last winter and I just bought her last month. She only went for a couple runs between that time. The car is in very very very good condition but what are some things I should do to bring her completely up to speed? I know sitting for that long can be a bad thing but what are some key points on her I should check. Fluids need replacing? Etc.

Should I just bring her to my mechanic and have him give her a complete look over. Check for trouble spots, etc?

The look ever would be a good idea, also it would be wise to do a tune up if youre unsure when it was done last.

what's the mileage? and at the very least, an oil change is in order i would believe...check the tires, having them sit on a certain part of the tread over a long period of time can flat spot them
