Around here any Latino owned tire shop, the one selling used tires, will patch you whatever you want. No worries about liability - taillight warranty.

Personally, I am a tightwad but I don't do plugs for long term repairs. Patches in the center area are okay. Anything else, I just bite the bullet and get a new tire or a new set. Not worth the risk of injury, getting stranded or worse ...
