2 Starter problem

Failure Date: 06/26/2007

Problem started about 4 months after purchase. Long crank time, if not cranked longer than 2 seconds, will not start right away. Only when vehicle`s been sitting for 6 or more hours. I've taken to the garage overnight 4 times, but they keep saying nothings wrong. I didn't have this problem when I first bought this car. Starter, alternator, spark plugs, and wires, and all fuses still good. Will my car be ok? with winter coming, I don`t want to be stranded.
