sounds like your battery died and the mechanic took you for a ride. The jump got the engine going and the alternator would have gotten you where you wanted to go, but you had it towed. Mechanic replaced the starter, which was likely good, with a rebuilt that isn't good. Starters have a warranty. Replace it.
