It could be a number of things. get a second opinion from an auto electrician.

I'll say you're mechanic is probably right. The starter can freeze up at any time and look like a flat battery. Then when you jump it, the extra surge of power is enough to wake it up again. If your battery tested ok and is holding a charge under load then the starter is the likely candidate.
