$95 to fix a flat !!!!! :E Outrageous.
A tubeless tire should have just been plugged & re-inflated, 20 min tops. Unless it was other than a simple puncture.
Should have just taken the tire to a local gas station, around here, they'll fix a tire for $10, (which is also too much) but, times have changed.
If GS paid to change the tire with the spare, did they in fact repair the original tire & put it back on?
Around here plugging a tire is no longer done and documentation to that effect is hanging on all the walls. There are also pictures of acceptable damage that will be repaired. All require a dismount and a plug installed from the inside and then a patch over that repair.
Regardless, that tire is not repairable because of its location even if there is no belt desperation or other damage.
