It's a P.O.S. made on a monday , I think your " mechanics " are slackers that don't know how to trouble shoot

I've seen episodes of the Twilight Zone that weren't as scary as this. You need to be a lot more selective about mechanics because none of those who did any of this are competent. Batteries and starters don't make a car stop & start as yours did. Find a good mechanic; maybe use Yelp to help you look..... A defective alternator can cause the car to stall and not recharge the battery, but if your drive was just down the street as you said, I'd suspect there's more wrong than that. Maybe a new, not a rebuilt, alternator and a good tune-up is all that's necessary.
