He did not verify that irrigation system was not leak-tight (probably the most critical check) via the water meter (which I also checked myself and found a cracked elbow on the inlet line).
Given the simplicity of these systems, I guess I expected him to do a full "front to back" tune up of the whole system, not just sprinkler replacements (which he was VERY effective in finding at $25/$35 replacement cost each).
My recommendation would be to ask him exactly what his tune up includes and shadow him to make sure things were done as they should be.

Typical, and you're smart and knowledgeable enough to check his work. Most people don't and they think "their" guy is the greatest thing since sliced toast. Read it all the time on this site. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose
