Garage
This starting then stopped starting thing happened with my AMG one morning. Left the garage and went a quarter mile to the gas station and filled the tank. Wouldn't start after that. Eventually, after multiple tries, it stopped turning over too, so I thought maybe the battery was dead. I walked home, took the FRS to buy a new battery and installed the new battery.

Cranked, no start. Had the car towed to the dealership and it turned out to be a failed fuel pump which then melted one of the wires. Ended up having to replace the whole fuel tank and pump assembly because the wire harness can't be purchased separately from the fuel pump and didn't want to deal with a wire repair right next to the fuel tank.

I hope it's the battery, but if that doesn't do it, I'd check the fuel pump.
