Dude, if they're the stock tires and you're not tracking it, buy a plug kit and do it yourself. I do it all the time. If you're going to be tracking the car or driving fast, you may want to look at replacement and keep the tire around as a spare.
No tire shop is going to patch your tire for free. Patching does the least damage because you don't have to use that roughing tool which really punches through, however, they are also more likely to leak in my experience. I've never had a plug leak, but they do compromise structural integrity enough that you won't want to track or drive too fast with it.
I do love the AAFES shops where you can take your car in and work on a lift for a small hourly rate, most of them will pull tires for a small fee, but you have to make sure the attendant doesn't screw your rims.
