Dealer did a number on a few parts of my paint (long story). Rather have it fixed right on my dime vs. letting them lose again to cause more problems.

If the chips are small, I have seen great DIY results with both Dr. Color Chip and Langka.

+1 for Dr. Color chip. I did it myself and it works as advertised.

Coastline Collision in Santa Ana is the best.

Update:

Well after being promised 'our guys are the best' I took it back to the dealer (McKenna) and low and behold they did a great job on the repair, looks factory new, no sign of the chips at all. I was impressed to say the least.

Car was taken to the bodyshop down the street, not done at dealer, but owned by McKenna.
