I'd say it depends on the overall condition of the tire and what's causing the leak. It could be a bad or loose valve stem, in which case it's an easy fix. If it's a puncture, and it's in the tread area, then a patch can certainly be made (I'd recommend having the wheel/tire balanced after it's patched). If it's a puncture in the sidewall or the transition between sidewall and tread, it's probably not safe to repair.
Mullet Mart has policies for everything, and sometimes those policies are just stupid. I guess they have to do that, considering the abilities of their average employee.
