Tire Puncture

This morning I found two punctures in my rear right tires as the result of construction nails. The tire did not go flat but I'm sure that if I removed the nails, air will leak out. I drove my truck to Pep Boys but I was told that they are not allowed to repair tires with two punctures. The punctures were not in the outer threads of the tires. Is this just a company policy by Pep Boys or is there a safety standard that all tire service shops are supposed to abide by. The tire is fairly new but I landed up replacing it. Comments please?
