you could get the (carbon fiber)cloth and resin.. and do it yourself. the tricky part is matching the pattern(weave) those are the same issues a shop will face. i'm not sure if paying a shop is cost effective- what kind of repairs you talking about? and your hood- is it painted or not?
i've never played around with carbon fiber- but i'ved helped my brother with his fiberglass panels and speaker enclosures- same concept and process- just different material-
*crap* i just re-read your post
in this case it might be easier to do it yourself-
if not try car tunes in kailua - they have quite a bit of experience in custome fabrications like this.

My CF hood has lots of murkiness to it and needs a good machine buffing/polishing and maybe a booby rub.
