Um nope... you don’t take the tire off to install a plug. You can (and should) do this with the tire inflated. You find the leak, ream the hole, put the cord on the install tool, put glue on the cord (If applicable), push the tool into the hole and pull it out as quick as possible. Sometimes you need to put in a second cord. You work quickly and get it done without letting all the air out. It should take under 3 minutes.

It is a ***** to do this off the car.

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.
