You can use the below name for all the checkboxes:

name="service[]"

You cannot give them all the same name; the browser would not be able to tell the difference between them. You'll have to give each one a unique name. Only Radiobuttons have the same name, because only one can ever be set. (It uses the matching name to determine which ones to disable when you click another with the same name)

Every other input element requires a unique name for each.
