Add a bottle of fuel injector cleaner to a full tank of fuel and see what happens

Do those things work?

I good technician will have to check his fuel rail pressure. Before fixing the car. I think his fuel injector is dirty and staying open so when he stops the engine the fuel line pressure leaks into the cylinder and he has to cycle his fuel pump a couple of times before he gets enough fuel to start the engine.

When the car is warm there is still enough pressure in the fuel lines to start.

OO you can test this theory by cycling the key a couple of times (10) to prime the lines before starting if the car starts immediately then it confirm fuel leak, but someone could have serviced the fuel lines e and it might breaking outside into the engine bay which is what usually cause those car fires.

If OP smells fuel anywhere around the car fix it before it burns down
