Answer 1

Are you sure that is a good idea to access service from repo?

Repositories are designed for custom SQL where, in case of doctrine, doctrine can help you with find(),findOne(),findBy(), [...] "magic" methods.

Take into account to inject your service where you use your repo and, if you need some parameters, pass it directly to repo's method.
