First, I'd tell 'em the key/ignition issue is well known to be a failing switch. It's a cheap part and a quick fix.

Then have them check the MAF. Not a cheap part, but it can really mess with your engine's performance if it's hosed.

If the battery is not retaining a charge, you might want to simply replace it. Get yourself an Optima Yellow Top and be happy.

ALTHOUGH, you might want to have them check the alternator. If the output voltage is low... it might not be charging your battery well.
