I would try a different battery. Or at least connect to another vehicle with good jumper cables.

I would try a different battery. Just because they charged it and claim it's good doesn't make it true. Remy gold starters are reasonable priced on Rock Auto. You can get a new one cheaper than a reman from a parts store.
