If the repair is more extensive, I have never been charged more than $50 for the repair. A few years ago, they raised 5 pop-up sprinklers by 6 inches, and the charge was only $15 each.

American Irrigation charges a minimum of $85-95 per hour every time they come to your house, even for the quarterly inspection and adjustment. And, they don't guarantee any special treatment or pricing for regular maintenance customers. So, if they just come to screw in a broken nozzle, you will pay at least $85 plus the cost for parts. I don't consider this reasonable pricing at all.
That is why we are happy we have a neighbor who knows how to keep system running optimally and is reasonable cost wise
