Default Service/Mot help?

Hello all... just a bit of advice needed please.
My car has been left standing for about a year now and im looking to get back on the road when ive sorted my insurance out. The car is due a service and MOT.

First question is where to get it Serviced and MOT'd, Im thinking of taking it to Davies Subaru/Ford in Cardigan as its the closest subaru dealer BUT is it really a Subaru dealership anymore? or is it just a Ford dealership?, Would you recommend this garage or should i take my car somewhere else... to be honest i just want to know my car is being serviced by people i can trust and would prefer to use a subaru dealership.

Second question is What would you get serviced as my car has been standing for a long time. I want the gear,diff and engine oil changed maybe cambelt done but would you recommend me getting something else looked at aswell... Also always wondered how do i know that the oil there going to be using is any good.?

Last Question, what sort of price would i be looking at for all the things i might need doing, Service Cambelt, oil change, MOT,

By the way the car is a 06 Hawk STI with very low mileage.
Sorry for all the questions lads ,I would be very grateful if you could give me some advice/recommendations on the above THANKS.

Yes they've been dealers for around two minutes, I wouldn't let them experiment on my car. I know someone who works there and they see more UFO's than Impreza's.

There is an ex Prodrive mechanic in Narberth I think he's trading as AWP or NWP Engineering, he's just off the Tenby road and he prepares lots of rally cars and is supposed to be really good.
