If you look at Tire Rack's website, they will state the conditions on which a RFT can be repaired, but even then as others have stated, there might not be someone willing to go through the trouble of repairing it.
Thanks everyone! Replaced the tire with a new one. It’s not cheap which makes consider buying the lexus hazard protection plan. I know there is another thread for this topic but still can’t make a decision if it would worth it!
Here is the nail, I don’t think it can be repaired! The interesting thing is that it’s not leaking or causing any issues at all so far except a rattling noise (sounds exactly like having an actual flat tire). I’m not even sure if the nail is causing the sound or not

Did the screw penetrate the tire? I hope you got to look at the old tire after it was unmounted. (Ha, I just typed "screw," "penetrate," and "mount" in quick succession.)
Did the noise go away after you replaced the tire?
Some mom and pop garages are willing to repair tires where big-chain shops won't. It's a little bit risky, but can potentially save much money.
