It's a really tiny hole but it's leaking all the air out of one of my tires about every two days. I don't think you can plug the sidewall can you? It's a brand new tire surley theres somthing that can be done to save it.

some shops are able to hot patch a side wall however this is not recommended because this is the hottest part of a tire and if the patch fails off you are in the same boat or worse... a blow out
suggestion is to shell out and get a new tire
Are you sure it's coming from the side wall because two days is a long time for a side wall leak. It may be from the rim (corrosion)

if you want an all out solution to repair these tires...go to walmart and buy the "do it yourself" plugs and plug the sidewalls yourself to save some money. Throw a bunch of junk on them too...glue, whatever, the tires will not balance easy but oh well. I would never do it, it is unsafe and most garages will say the same. Just be cautious after doing so. Just remember what goes around comes around, whoever vandalized your car has it comin in one way or another...I don't know if I'm giving good advice, but it is probably the only way to repair your tires....

99% of tire shops will not repair a leak in the sidewall because of liability issues. Can it be done...yes...will they do it...most likely not. If the tire is new though...take it back to the place you bought it...surely there is some kind of warranty.

Most tire shops wont patch a tire on the sidewall
Because they dont want to be responsible if it blows.
Get a new tire.

There is nothing you can do. If it's new there should be some sort of waranty on it.
