@Abey Austin ,
One of my laptops is a Dell Inspiron. But, that is beside the point.
Suggestion : That is what I do with both my laptops.
Instead of shutting down the laptop when done, I set it to Sleep.
Next time I need to use it, open the lid > sign in > it comes back to life in less than 3 sec.
I found many dell laptops has this problem, it is caused by slow system In most instances. I suggest that you can use the Advanced SystemCare or Tuneup Utilities to optimize your system.
If the problems appeared after the service, the first thing might to get it back there? They all have a guarantee for the work they do? Just make a complaint.
You are welcome, my computer also is Dell, so I was maddenin to this problem, I think we should complain it on the website of Dell, hahaha~Yes, I thought of doing that but I moved from that place, and its more than 150Kms from here now.
And my guarantee is gonna expire next month!
I tried Advance System Care and surprisingly it helped speeding up the start-up by 40%? Thanks @Teemocaptain

hey man, sometimes the startup programs are actually un-wanted... to make your booting a little faster, disable some of your startup programs ? if not needed..
Windows --> System Configuration -->Startup --> Check/Un-Check programs --> Apply --> OK
Guys, this is another thing which delays the start-up, on start-up all the destop & taksbar icons are refreshed automatically, this might take upto 20 seconds to finish :S
I've attached a screenshot of it below
O_OGood catch badrobot, I completely missed those widgets....
Also, MS has stated that using those widgets is a security risk and advise not to install/run/or use them as hackers can use them to hijack your system.

By your screen shot, I see your using McAfee for your AV. McAfee is known to be a resource hog. As an experiment, I would uninstall McAfee and install MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) and test that for at least a week and compare the bootup times with McAfee and MSE.
Also, I see you use google talk, disable that from running/turning on at startup, if you can and try Skype, btw is now MS product (MS bought out Skype to replace messenger with). Google Talk seems to be a little bit my system resource hungry then Skype is, on my system anyway.
Everything that appears on your desktop such as those widgets can also drag your speed down. It takes time for those widgets to update and load up. You may want to disable your widgets too.
Never ever use a built-in anti-virus. They work okay but they are also the main cause of system slow down.
