Up to this point in time, mechanic 1 has only done some maintenance work on the car. Things that would be done from time to time to maintain the car.
Since you have lost trust in this mechanic, I would go to a different place and have them diagnose the codes. If the second place gives you the same recommendation you can decide what to do.
You can tell the second place you are getting a second opinion, or not.

possible bad mass air flow sensor causing rich fuel trim, vvt cam gear also possible issue.

well a compression test will tell you if the engines internal components are working properly and it is critical you start there when having a problem like this.
testing the injectors will let you know if they are giving fuel to the engine. there are two test for the injector and first one you do is an electrical test to see if they are getting turned on and off as they are supposed to and it they are internaly good electricaly with is done by listening to them with a stethoscope to see if you here the clicking sound the pintle valve makes inside of them. then there is the test to see if there spraying fuel or leaking fuel witch is called a leak down test and is done with a fuel pressure guage and a tester that will electrical turn the individual ijector on to see how much pressure it drops.
this is what i would do if i had it in my shop.
let me know if you have any more question and that you understood what i described.

sounds like you have gotten water into the electrics somewhere and it just needs to dry out.you can try to use a blow gun and blow dry all the electrics under the hood and see if it starts.

Are there any additonal codes being thrown for a misfire? Coils and plugs would be a likely culprit knowing this car
ENGINE MISFIRE
There are few possibilities that can cause engine misfire
issues. It can be issue with spark plugs or faulty spark plugs. Also get the
compression test done for cylinders. If any of cylinder shows low compression
then required, then that particular cylinder will cause misfire.
Also get obd codes scanned, the error code will let you know
which cylinder is misfiring or all cylinders are misfiring.
