Obviously the electrical system is NOT fine. Try a different mechanic as it may have a parasitic draw.

It wasn’t the electrical...However, had the alternator checked and it’s in excellent shape so then we tried another battery same issue..So once again took to mechanics and this time he checked and cleaned the connection terminals to the batter, starter and Alternator...Then I realized that when my Bluetooth Modulator crashed that’s the same time I had the problem...I just recently pulled the Fuse for the Bluetooth and it’s seems to be working so far with no issues at the moment...
