1999 Mitsubishi Galant

Hi, my car won't start and I need to know whats going on. The first time it won't start the prople at auto zone said I need a new alternator so I replaced it and the car started to work again. Then a couple a weeks later it stop working again and they said it still was the alternator so I replaced it again. Then a month or two later it put me down again at the bank so I had to get it jump. I took the battery to advance auto parts and they said all it needs to be is charged so I did that and still nothing. So now i'm trying to get a jump and the car won't even start when they jump it. Can you tell me what the problem is? Its getting frustrated. Please help me.

HI: I am not a pro mechanic but have worked on cars for many years, I would start with an engine computer scan. Many auto parts stores will loan you a scanner. There are many problems that will cause these problems and without a scan trying to resolve this may be at best a series of uninformed "shots in the dark" and just installing parts is $$$$$
