put a piece of wood against your starter hit with a hammer then turn over your car it probably just needs a new starter. keep in mind this is a temporary fix you will have to replace the starter/

There are several possibilities.
However the most likely cause are
1) a parasitic drain on the battery, something is grounding and draining the battery.
2) Starter motor has gone bad.
3) Battery was a dud or low on electrolite.
4) You left your lights on or a door was ajar and it drained the battery.
5) Fuel pump has stopped working. (Car would turn over but not start)
6) Coil or igniton/igniter module bad (again car will turn over but not start)

Sounds like a short to ground. Charge the battery and disconnect the ground cable. Now check to see if there is CURRENT flow with the key out. If so, you have a parasitic drain, and will need to get it traced. It's probably in the main harness right at the firewall. The wire there tends to rub the insulation off, causing a short.

Is the fuel pump working? How about the starter?
When you had these replaced did they do the check and say the alternator and battery were the problems?

Someone f--ed up. Take it back to where you got the work done and have them repair it under warranty.
