As a tire shop there is far too much liability to plug a DOT tire. Also I wonder why anyone would pay me to do what they can do themselves. If I find a plug in a tire that isn't leaking I will cut it off and put a patch over it on the inside while I'm in there. To say a plug never leaks is a lie also because I fix leaking plugs all the time. And a plug will damage a belt if it does not follow the path of the injury so there is still a unsealed hole in the inner liner of tire. This allows the air to get trapped in between the belts so they separate. Also you never know what the damage to the tire is unless you are inside so when you plug a tire you are assuming there isn't a larger injury than what it appears. It is acceptable to plug a tire from the inside out because you know you are sealing the injury and it isn't too large. And according the Tire Manufactures Association you are to plug and patch tires from the inside to seal the air leak and to seal water from getting to the steel belts.
