Things need to be tested/scanned , Scan for codes , buy a scanner if you have to , when it starts test voltage at batt. That's what any of us would do , If you're going to work on your own vehicle there are certain tools you will need .

Your going to need a good scanner, volt meter and a test light to test power to your starter and the and the start terminal, also to run voltage drop tests, the battery and alternator will need to be tested. Or if you don't want to do DIY then find a good independent shop and have it checked over.
