I've just recently had my car serviced, but my service light still keeps coming on. Every now and then and I don't no why.

This light comes on because the problem is still there or you have a new problem. can you tell me what repairs were done? Also, can you scan for codes? here is a guide your might be different because of your location:

Okay, turn the key on without starting the engine, rapidly depress the throttle five time to the floor, the service light should blink. Then shut the key off and restart the light should be out. This may take a few times to work. Please let me know.
