5 Starter problem

Car will occasionally not start. Nothing. Plenty of juice, but no starter, not even a click. Sometimes, after doing nothing, the car will start as though evrything is fine. Have brought to shop. The problem doesn't show up w/ error reading on their computers. They have replaced fuses, but it doesnt work. For example, car wouldn't start this morning, so I'm at home with the kids. Just went outside and it started. It will probably work fine for a month or two, and then, won't start. Hopefully we won't be stranded somewhere. Hope you can help.
