06 3.0 Dent doctor or bodyshop? - nick

A stone the size of a pigeons's egg has left me with a circular dent about an inch across and with a slight crease in the middle on the aluminium bonnet of my Legacy. The paint doesn't look broken. It looks like the rear of the dent is accessable.
Has anyone had any experience, good or bad, with dent removing companies or would a bodyshop be better? It's the only mark on the car so I want as perfect a job as possible.
And any idea of a ballpark cost? I'll be paying myself. I'm in northeast Lincolnshire if anyone has any recommendations.
Thanks in advance.

Is it an alluminium bonnet like our Forester?

If so, I believe they are absolute pigs to panel-bash
