I assume we are talking about a No crank scenario here where the starter is not turning over the engine. If the starter motor is cranking over the engine but engine is not firing up, we usually call that a No start scenario.
If automatic, I would guess a gear selector switch going bad sometimes.
If it is a good mechanic/shop, they should be able to figure it out and maybe in the meantime, rig up an extra wire so that the gear selector switch can be bypassed when the problem occurs.
If I have very intermittent problems like that, I try to come up with solutions where the customer can help me doing some tests when they drive the car.
It saves money for them and time for me.
