Almost certainly a drain or charging problem — a healthy system doesn't kill new batteries.
The shop measures current flowing with the car off, then isolates which circuit is drinking the battery.
Chronically low batteries force the alternator to work at maximum constantly, which can shorten its life — the two failures often travel together.
