Sometimes an ABS system test is part of a car’s initialization sequence. That can make some noise as it tests the solenoids. Perhaps that’s what’s happening, and one of the ABS solenoids is intermittently failing, sticking etc. So the ABS light turns on. The more common problem for this symptom is a wheel speed sensor is failing, so ask your shop to consider that too. The shop should have the equipment to test each of the wheel speed sensors. They just rotate the wheel by hand and verify the sensor produces the expected signal.
