Exactly, so I do my own sprinkler work but my neighbors tell me almost all these companies do a great job and are reliable and reputable but they are getting like HVAC companies, charging a trip fee, diagnostic fee and then whatever repair you need. One company charges $90 just to come out before any repairs. I can understand this because these guys have trucks, insurance and other overhead. They are not some "Chuck in a truck" repair person any more and the few of those that are still out there are far and few between.
