Default Any recommendations for garage to service 2008 Forester

I am looking to get a service for a standard 2008 Forester 2l petrol. It's new to me and seems to have last been serviced at 84,000 miles. It's now up to 100K. Does anyone have any recommendations for a garage to the West of London? Also what service does it need? I am slightly twitchy that I can't see that the cambelts have ever been changed. Franchised dealer is quoting close to the value of the car to service it!

It's more of a drive but worth it for a good garage , go to subaru4u they know what they are doing and are more competitively priced than a dealer

Buy the cambelt kit yourself from import car parts and take it to local garages and ask for quotes.
change the oil,oil filter, air filter yourself. Even fuel filter. It's easy on these.
have you changed oil on cars before?
