Default Servicing in the Gatwick area

I picked up an 2-3 year old Impreza last month and need to get it serviced within the next couple of months (before a drive to Spain). Do I really need to go with a Subaru main dealer for the service or does anyone know of a good Subaru approved service centre in the Gatwick or surrounding area?

I've used Haven (Lockyear) for the last five years and can confirm that they know what they are doing (ex Subaru dealer I believe)

Rivett Autos

Mike is an Ex-main dealer mechanic (long time ago now though)
He's been an independant Subaru specialist since about 1992 (I think)
