Easy fix DIY or you could call your insurer and get it done there, some of them are covered under your policy if you have windscreen cover.

Used to be lads parked in Tesco car parks every so often doing this on the spot. Not sure if they still do it?

As a rule of thumb if the size of the chip fits inside the radius of a €2 coin it's fixable, most likely covered by your insurance.

Had two of these sorted last year after Wicklow CC resurfaced our road.
