I have a 2009 Mitsubishi Galant I drive it daily when I first crank it up it makes a noise twice like it doesn't want to start then it finally cranks up mechanic check out the battery and alternator said both was fine suggest that I try a starter so I order a starter mechanic put it in then the car starts to make a louder noise then before and it's smoking and has a burning smell so I park it at home next day I try to crank the car up it wouldn't start and it's making studdering noise so I had to get a jump off for it to crank up took it back now the mechanic saids my battery is bad but I don't think it's the battery not when he just test the battery and alternator and said they both were fine and I don't think a bad battery causes a car to smoke or have a burning smell I think it's the new starter so what could it be?

Sorry to hear about this. It's hard to tell without looking at it. Would you say the smoking smells like burning engine oil? What kind of noise is it making, a knocking noise? Have you checked your oil level?
