Make sure they put in the right amount of oil. My car consumes some oil, and so I top it off here and there. When it's getting to the point of needing to be topped off again, my oil light will blink at me here and there (usually when going through a fairly sharp turn that causes the car to roll).

Could be that, or it could also be a bad sensor. There may be nothing wrong with your oil level. Could be oil sludge that's crapping out the sensor.
