The service command only fails if the service you are testing is not
there -- which means whenever you use service on an installed service
(active or not) it should return 0. I think you should look for another
way of determining whether or not the service is running, like checking
for a file located in /var/lock/subsys, or checking for a process with ps.

I am trying to write a script that will turn off unneeded services,
but I am not having any luck. I have tried the following:
service bluetooth status > /dev/null 2>&1
EXITVALUE=$?
if [ $EXITVALUE == 0 ]; then
service bluetooth stop
chkconfig --level 345 bluetooth off
fi
This works if bluetooth is not installed, but not if it IS installed
and already turned off. In that case, the service command returns zero
and the if block is executed.
Does anyone know how to modify this script so that it will run (or
tell me where I can learn how to modify it)?
Thanks!
