At least it sounds like the rim is good. That goes for over $300 at the dealer.
My advice, get a different set of tires (if needed).
I never had a flat!
Just watch, I'll get a flat tomorrow. Probably from the darn screw I had a few weeks ago. It will go poof, and no one here will hear from slo007 again...
The car will spin and... okay, that's enough. I'm going to bed now -- sleeping with the angels.

No reputable tire place will ever fix a tire with a puncture in the sidewall.
You should be able to get a good deal on the factory Pilots from one of the board members who is getting rid of their perfectly good stock tires for better ones. Get a pair of them - this way you have a real spare.

I know that the car lifts that some dealerships still use will do this to a tire when driving on/off the lift if they are not carefull.
Did you have your car serviced around the time of the flat??
You paid alot for the one tire...yokohama es100 are much better and much cheaper...
