Default Had CV boots done and ABS light coming on, help!

Hey, my car is at the mechanic's shop right now (an Audi/VW shop) and they replaced the CV boots and now the ABS light is coming on. Any ideas? The brakes were replaced about three months ago and the ABS module was also replaced.

The shop also did the timing belt and accessories, cam seals, spark plugs, and an o2 sensor for reference.

Can someone help with suggestions for a fix?
Thanks!

when the car is jacked up and started this will put the ABS light on because it sees a problem with traction so simply take it for a drive and it should go off ( if it doesnt then they damaged the wheel sensors ) and its common for untrained people to do that
