If there's any doubt about the charging system you can check it with a voltmeter, and would be wise before spending good money.

You should see between 13.5 and 14.5 volts at about 3K.

My money is on the battery being done based on the info.

How old is the battery?

My money is definitely on a tired battery.

You need a battery.  Checking the charging system is a good idea since you may have multiple problems but your battery is definitely bad.  The test that shop did is not a load test, it is a conductance test that is both safer and reasonably idiot proof.
