Depends on the chips, go ask smith and smith to take a look.

I took my van in to get some chips fixed under insurance, but there were 3 chips all right next to each other (looked like one and it was from one stone...) turns out they couldn't fix them so it was new screen time.

The chips don't worry me so I told them not to bother. Just pointing this out to show not all chips can be fixed with repairs

i heard a new ad on the radio advertising a DIY chip repair product for about $30, but cant remember any details. may have been called "u fix it" or something?

I'd still say get it checked first. If the pros can't fix it theres no point trying a DIY kit :lol:
