likely your rim will have problem too, get them to check all 4 or at least the 2 on the same side

I do not know exactly your sidewall is which part.

If is the soft part or any part beyong the shoulder dont repair it , even the shop tell you can

Discard it

it is not safe with a damaged side wall. as the other bros advised, change it. i too had bulged (not tears) tires and i changed them. not worth it - imagine what will happen if the tire burst when you are driving at expressway speeds...

 

check out michelin website on side wall damage.
