Even if this lie were true, it does NOT take 5 minutes (phone call)
And sorry, no chance in hell you're getting the right leverage with the wheel still on the car.
You need to jack up the car
You need to dismount the tire.
You need to remove the nail (can be a fight when it's flush)
You need to drill out the hole
You need to fight the tire and jam in the plug
You need to repeat this 5 times, since the plug comes out with the tool.
You need to re-inflate the tire.
You need to remount the tire.
You need to jack down the car.

I've plugged a hole by the side of the road
Turned front wheel to the side
found the hole with some water
The nail was already gone
ran the hand drill through 5 times
stuffed the plug in
cut it off with a boxcutter blade
re-inflated it with the little compressor
drove it home
obviously the rear can be done as well, it's just more work jacking up the car and getting the wheel off..
But that's not a complicated thing either : you have to do the same thing if you want to put on a spare tire.. Same skill set.
