How much for a puncture repair?
Discussion
buy one of these http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Park_Tools_Punct...
the super patches are self adhesive and stickier than a stick. no tacky glue and hope old school patches here.

as above buy a puncture repair kit, Park Tools do a good one for about £5, then replace the tyre yourself... if you don't know how to do it just youtube it there are plenty of bike mechanics showing you how do to everything from a tyre to a complete groupset change... Once you've done it you'll be glad you didn't pay someone and be able to sort roadside punctures when you're far from home!

Parvenu!One asks the butler to assign the task to the chauffeur, as wheeled conveyances fall within his bailiwick.

Marathon Plus have a terrible rep for being a bd to fit. This spa video shows how to do it without tools. I've been using this technique for years. Never had a problem fitting tyres.
