Wrapped roof damage

So I just noticed that I have 2 holes (divots?) in my black over Alpine White roof. The wrap is a little over 2 years old and I have no idea what happened or how. Is there anything to be done besides paying to get it re-wrapped? The holes are 1/8" and 3/16" respectively in diameter.

Re-wrapping is the only perfect fix. You can make it a lot less obvious with a small circle of vinyl 'band aid'.

How long does vinyl wrapping last? Was told from the company that it's about 3yrs before needing a new wrap.

+1 here...from a distance if you do the vinyl "band aid" you won't see it...well you might because you know it's there, but 99% of everyone else won't ever see the fix. I would definitely try this first before re-wrapping the entire roof.

Take a piece of the same wrap the top was done with, cut a round patch of it. Round, instead of square, so there are no corners that can easily lift.
