Dealership will probably be your best bet, unless you are lookin to work in a small shop. Not to many performance shops up here around Tulsa.

I've got a small, but high volume, repair shop here in Tulsa. It is your basic repair shop, with some fun projects that come in. If you are interested, shoot me a PM for more details.

I agree with the above I'm making 60k a year easily right now in the oilfield as a mechanic.

Are you tied to Oklahoma ? Like, how far you willing to move/ or where to?
Reason I ask is, if you've got rudimentary mechanic skills, go research some of the oil shale jobs going on in Canada... or ask one of the oil exploration companies.
top Carpenters are knocking down $200K with a lot of side perks, but you gotta deal with living up in the tundra.

Besides oil, the alternative energies are gaining a lot of momentum in this region, namely wind, so if you can ride that gravy train go for it.

You've got a lot of options out there energy related!
