GET IT THE HELL AWAY FROM THAT MECHANIC!!!
Call a tow truck, and have it taken to any other service shop.

A first year mechanic would have known if the ignition switch was bad
within five minutes! All you need is a voltmeter.

"Have a look at the ignition coil???" A 17 year old mechanic who only
knows how to change the spark plugs would know to take an ignition
wire off a spark plug, hold it 1/4-1/2" from a ground and have somebody
crank the ignition to see if the ignition is working.

You're being taken for a ride.
