It sounds as if it is heat related, maybe a camshaft position sensor. Have you had it scanned for codes?

If it has an automatic transmission, the next time it won’t start place the transmission in neutral and then try starting the engine. If the engine starts there’s a problem with the park/neutral safety switch.

+1 for @Tester. BTW…find another “service guy”…this problem is as common as dirt.
