Problems twice on start up

My car starts fine the majority of the time. Twice in a span of 2 weeks, when I stopped to get gas, I get in my car and start it up and it turns over, but does not start. And when I turn the key, you can feel the entire engine shake in the front. Like it's a hard start. I have never had this happen before. The 2nd time it happened I brought it to my garage and they could not find anything wrong with it.

BUT after about 6 tries, and I do let it sit for a bout a minute it eventually turns over, but barely. Then it runs ok. I got to my next destination and turned it off and started it again and it hesitated a bit but it started no problem.

My mechanic said it was probably a fluke the first time, but when it has happened twice, it's not a fluke. And everytime after the 2nd time it starts no problem, UNTIL it will happen again.

Anyone have any suggestions about this?? Thanks
 


How's the battery? Are the conenctions clean and tight? I've seen low battery voltage do strange things to these cars. I'd start there.
