Chips aren't usually repaired. No need. If there are spider cracks radiating out from it, then yeah, need to repair that.
On Edit: I should expand on this I guess. A rock chip will not grow bigger. We're talking about a roundish, smooth hole in the glass. Even if it goes all the way through. Temporarily, in a rain storm, just put packing tape on the inside. When it's dry, just put clear silicon over the chipped out area. That's all that's needed. But, like I mentioned, if there are cracks radiating away from the chip, you do need to have that repaired or DIY.
I'd just check the local handyman listings on Craigslist or in the local paper. It shouldn't run more the $50-$70...and your insurance will cover that if you want. And no points against you with most insurance companies.
IMO, $125 is too much, unless they're driving over 20 miles or so.
