It turns out the trouble is/was the battery!
Even though we tried to jump it to get the car started, the poor battery was "fried." According to the mechanic, the battery wasn't going to give power nor receive it, ever again...and "it just happens sometimes."
I am hoping that the battery they sold Bud (and installed) is absolutely new (for the cost of the repair, it had better be!), and that it has a good long life in Brian's car.
The good thing about this whole episode (and yes, I can find a good aspect in all of this) is that while looking for the trouble with the vehicle, the mechanics ran electronic/electric diagnostics on Bud's vehicle to ascertain the issue, and before replacing the battery could absolutely assure Brian that there were no other issues they could see with the vehicle beyond the dead battery. Yea!
