My car needs to be jump started every time I want to use it. If anyone can fix this please pm me or email. Let me know what you’d like in return. I can jump start it myself, however I’m looking to get the underlying problem solved.

Go to O’Rileys or AutoZone. Both will test your battery. Buy a new one.
Could be the alternator also. But they can test the system for free and tell you what you need so you have a better idea for bartering. It could just be a bad battery thats not holding a charge. Good start to make sure you don't get ripped off at a shop or by a unfair barter lol
If it drives OK after the jump, likely the battery. Any number of guys would likely stand you a “battery discount”
Could also be a voltage regulator; it it's not working properly, the battery will not charge.
If the battery is past the warranty/expected life, then just get a new battery first.
This is important and a good reason to check with the place where you got the battery. If any part of the warranty is in play it could significantly reduce the expenseQuote:
