But what did you get? Just a walk around adjustment or a number of replacement heads?

We also found that Jim has a big ego and patronizing attitude and have since recommended Joe Tucker for sprinkler repairs in stead. There's no denying Jim is an excellent mechanic.

Please don't use the term "mechanic" when referring to a person who repairs and/or installs residential sprinklers. The learning curve on this handyman job is about 4 weeks whereas a real mechanic ( machinery repairman ) typically goes through a lengthy apprenticeship of from 4 to 7 years including formal classroom education and progressive certifications before becoming a journeyman which includes ongoing education throughout his or her career. Mechanics also consult with and/or assist electrical and mechanical engineers with newer innovations, designs and field testing.
