I would just like to ask if there is any way

Answer 1

According to this answer this is possible in batch using method you described How does one find out if a Windows service is installed using (preferably) only batch?

Alternatively you could query with powershell:

$serv_status = get-service "myService"
if($serv_status -ne $null) 
{ 
    // do some operations here
}

Answer 2

sc query myService |find "myService" >nul will do the trick
