Although, it is probably overkill to check them every time the yard is mowed. They should not need to adjust that often.
It may only take 5 minutes, but I don't think anyone will even touch your sprinkler system for 5 dollars. Typically, it will cost about $35-40 just to check and adjust the sprinkler heads. And, most guys who mow the grass wouldn't know how to properly operate and adjust the sprinklers.
