Default Best place to repair a small tear in soft top?

I just got about an inch and a half tear in my soft top right next to my drivers side window. I think while I was taking off the snow/ice from my car something met of stabbed into it Any recommendations on where I could go in the Virginia Beach area that could help me patch this up?

Will a shop help patch this up or am I on my own for this? I've been reading on the forum that people have sewed there tops but I'm really bad at sewing. Any suggestions will be helpful.

You can also use a patch and adhesive to cover the tear. Any upholstery shop could mend it though.

Really? Any upholstery shop can fix it?

Yeah I might have to patch it for now. We are expecting rain this Sunday.
