I would say its up to your mechanic !ate to sort it out. Whatever he has done has made it worse. Electrical issues especially immobilisers can be near to impossible to sort out unless you have it take out by a specialist. The battery flat issue can be sorted out by disconnecting the battery and Using a voltage tester and systematically disconnecting items to see where the drain is.

Better getting an auto electrician to check out car rather than your mechanic friend .Could also check for parasitic drain .
