Slow Puncture

Have a P-Zero (265/35/19) with slow pucture, took to tyre place which "fixed" it with a keep-an-eye-on-it caveat and sure enough it's losing about 1psi a week. Is it worth taking it elsewhere or bite the bullet and buy a new tyre?
 
I've never known a repair not hold air and have never been told to keep a check on it, so where on the tyre was the repair? Close to the sidewall so the mushroom couldn't be guaranteed so seal? I'd ask another repair place.

Agreed until last September when I had a repair done. The tyre then lost about 3 lbs a week. But winter was approaching and the true only had a couple of mm over the legal minimum so I replaced it. Might just be a poor bead seal? If it has loads of tread I'd get it resealed (somewhere different) and see if they like the look of the repair.
 
As Mark says could be a poor seal on the bead but given in the cold weather you're unlikely to cane it how much tread have you left may just eak it out to tyre change. You have to assess it maybe try another repairer.
