Given your description, I'm surprised those calls time out. Normally, a
D-Bus call to a service that isn't running and can't be autostarted will
complete quickly (a fraction of a second), with a NameHasNoOwner error
reply sent back by the dbus-daemon itself.

The only calls that should time out are:

* a call to a service that is running, but doesn't reply for some
  reason, for instance because of a bug or because it was SIGSTOP'd

* a call that triggers autostarting, but where the autostart attempt
  doesn't work fast enough to get a reply within the time limit

Please check your syslog (or systemd Journal) for any warning messages
that look relevant?
