Back from vacation...and had to get the 8 towed

...long story short, car had to be towed to dealership the morning after coming back from a 7 day vacation. It wouldnt start, so i immediately put on the jumper cables thinking the battery might just be weak or something, so i wouldnt flood it. It still wouldnt start when i tried 10 min later, so i started the deflooding procedures and tried taking out the inj 15a fuse and fuel pump fuse before trying again (to make sure not flooded) and it still wouldnt start... there is just a constant whine from the starter (which is new, and replaced under warranty about a yr ago...although they didnt give me a new battery liek thye were suppose to under the recall, or fill my tank). If i didnt just stick $400 into this car before vacation to fix the shitty under bumper plastic in the front this car would go straight to trade in, I love it to death but am getting fed up with random problems. btw its an 04 6 spd with 52k miles. any recommendations on what to expect or ask from the dealer?
