Flat tire repair

Just curious on how do tire shop repair flat tires? Do they use this kind with a plug kit?

Some do, others use a patch that requires unmounting the tire from the rim. The patch is applied on the inside of the tire then the tire remounted.

I have friends who carry the plug kits in their cars. Especially handy for those cars that no longer come with spare tires.
