    Yep, charge and test your batteries, if one is bad it's better to replace them all.

    Have your alternator tested too.

    If you have one of those battery cut off switch the sits next to the battery box, i would start there. it might be starting to short out, when you try to start your engine all you get is a click sound from the starter. its pulling the amps down on the batteries, because there is a short. I have no clue why a dealer mechanic will go straight to the batteries first? they should be asking more question first. instead of assuming its the batteries.
