Default Tire Repair Opinions Sought

Last night I heard this sound coming from my rear left tire. It was consistent with the sound of a rock in the tread. I couldn't find a rock so I removed the wheel today and discovered a screw in the tread.

It is located about dead center on the Falken Azenis tread. The screw was at a slight angle and came out easily with some pliers. The length is about 3/8" with a diameter of approximately 1/8". I checked pressure about a half hour after removing the screw and detected no pressure loss.

I am wondering if I need to take this to a tire shop tomorrow and have it checked. I am curious if this was deep enough to cause damage. It may be a different story if I put the wheel back on the car and begin driving.

Any advice on good tire shops for flat repairs? Something near South Meadows?
