Take the car back to the shop, you paid for parts and labor and the problem came back, I hope they gave you a written warranty. It is possible that either the battery or the alternator are defective. If they tell you that now you need other parts, get a second opinion first.

My father in law ownes the shop n I bought the parts n did the labor myself I really don't let anyone work on it unless it's something I can't do I can start my car once n it's dead again I Kno the altinator isn't charging no more

If the alternator is not charging, then all that you have to do is remove it, take it back for exchange and replace it. You can do that at home, without having to tow the car to the shop. Like you, I do all the work in my cars, unless it is something that requires a particular expertise or I don't fee capable of doing it.
