I wonder how a dead battery will help the shop determine what is wrong? Do not bring your car there!

You could invest $20 or so for a trickle charger and plug the car in when you are not using it. Your neighbor is good, he charged your battery and it lasted a month. I suspect your battery is not fully charged and the light drain for the radio and alarm system is slowly draining the battery.

You could have the output of the alternator checked, it should be around 14.7V

OR, you could drive the car a bit more to charge the battery. To and from the mall or grocery store will not do it.
