The first step in checking your car's operation is to take it for a test drive. Make sure to pay attention to how the engine performs, such as acceleration and braking. You should also listen for any strange noises coming from the engine or other components. Additionally, check the dashboard lights and warning indicators to make sure they are functioning correctly. If you notice anything unusual, consult a mechanic to determine what needs to be repaired.
