A patch can run between 10 and 20 dollars, depending on where you have it repaired.
Make sure that your chosen repair facility uses a patch or plug-patch combination on the INSIDE of the tire. Do not use external "plug" type repairs. These are not only useless, they are potentially dangerous.
Have your tire inspected by a qualified professional.
As to your second question: do YOU work for free?

If it is just a nail hole you can patch it yourself with a kit for under $5, just be sure you're near a source of air as the process can deflate the tire some if your not proficient at the repair. Please be aware that technically these repairs are considered temporary and should be followed up with an inside patch which means dismounting the tire and re-balancing afterward. If you go for the self repair, usually the stores will have two or more choices in different price ranges. Spend more and get the set with the better tools as the cheaper ones are harder to use and easier to bend or break. Before all this, get a newspaper and check the ads. In my area, Townfair Tire will repair any flat no matter where you bought the tire for free. This generates a lot of good will and they hope to get your business next time around.Good luck.

depends if the nail has gone all the way through the tire and is leaking air around the nail, you will lose air in the tire and possibly the tire may go flat, the other danger is the nail could come out and you could lose air rapidly while the car is moving and lose control. if the nail has not penetrated the inner liner of the tire and is still air tight then just pull it out, best way to find out if it is leaking is take a little dish soap and put it in a spray bottle, fill the rest of the bottle with water, spray the nail, bubbles = leak, no bubbles= leave it alone or just pull it out. if it a small enough nail and is leaking your local service station should be able to plug it for 15 or 20 dollars

In Cleveland,Oh you can find an auto shop to plug your tire for $5-$10. You can also pick up a patch kit at Autozone,Advanced Auto parts and the like for $10-$20, that way you can fix future flats as well, much cheaper that way.

you can spend $3 on a kit and do it yourself. Just follow the directions in the kit. Enlarge the hole, put the plug cord into the tool, insert until it's almost through, then pull the tool back out to double up the plug. It takes about 2 minutes. Otherwise, ANY tire shop can do it for you and usuall charge about $5.

Depends on where you live, somewhere between $20 and $30.
If it is not to baldly worn or old, other wise the garage may order you to purchase a new one or report you to the insurance company.
