Just had the oil changed n my car, thy didn't reset the maintenance light. It was an import shop not the dealer that did it, do I have to take it back or is there a way I can do it?

You do need a special reset tool to perform the operation..probably will need to take it back in to have it reset. Procedures are below for your reference..
