if someone says they will do it for you. run. not safe. Try discount tire online. they also will road warranty tires for 15 bucks more. Used it the other day.

No way dude, got to replace the tyre. And depending on how recently it was replaced before now, might as well go ahead and at least replace the tyre one the other side, if not all four.

Sidewall tear = just replace it.
If its on the tread and small enough its fairly easilly patchable, my left rear is like that right now with no problems for months however the sidewall is another matter.
