Hi
To bad about the shop you took the tire too.They didn't want to fix it,just sell you tires,I would have fixed it,I have the official patch requierment book from Rema Tiptop,and there arn't to many places on a tire that arn't repairable.The book tells you maximum size holes in various areas of the tire and the size and type of patch to use.
Better luck next time
