It could be the steering head bearings seating or wearing slightly. Not a huge problem for the service guys to tighten them up.

Make sure to tell them at the shop about the vibration and to check the steering head bearings, as well as everything else on the fork/wheel assembly.

Test ride the bike before taking home to be sure they fixed it. Don't accept it and take it home until they actually fix the problem, or they might try fast talking their way out of it.

Let your technician check on the neck if you feel that it's the problem.. from what you described, it seems your bike is in pretty good condition.
