Professional repairs are perfectly fine, I think. Those "home repair" self-inflating jobbers tho' are only for emergencies. Professional tire repair is done from the inside - big thick patch, lots of glue, etc. And you should get a decent warranty. Assuming that the tires themselves are fairly new (have good tread), that the problem is actually the tire (and not a bent rim or something like that) that and you're only taking basic street driving I wouldn't think twice about it. Just get it repaired and replace all four when the tread warrants it.
