Normally, I would not recommend a trip to the dealer, especially to anyone cash strapped. However, electrical problems can be daunting, you would have to find a very good independent mechanic for that. Maybe these guys, check them out, I came across them a long time ago maybe someone here has experiences, good luck:

Next time, only take your car to a Porsche specialty shop. If you don't want to take it to a dealer, you can always find a decent local independent shop by looking up your local PCA (Porsche club of America) region website. I assume this site covers Atlanta: http://www.peachstatepca.org/links.asp

Just look at their sponsors, and many tend to be the local independent specialty shops in the area that your local club works with.

Since you're strapped for cash, just park the car, and take public transport or something, so that you can save up to take the car to a proper repair shop.

Here's a post from an Atlanta area member (Insite)who's been around for years and seems to know P-cars well. This was a post from 2007, maybe a good thing (If the shops are still around that may be evidence they're doing good work)...
here's my atlanta area list; these guys are all highly recommended:

Pro-Formance Place
1155 South Cobb Drive
Marietta, GA 30060
770.514.1488

This is my new favorite place. GREAT looking shop & the owner, Reggie Cumming, is a top notch guy. Factory trained.
