San Diego County rides all year, which means motorcycle keys get lost all year: at the beach, on base, in a parking structure downtown, or somewhere along a mountain road east of the city. We are a mobile locksmith that works only on motorcycles and scooters, and we come to the bike in San Diego County.

We cut mechanical keys, program transponder and immobilizer keys where the system allows, repair ignitions, pull broken keys and fix gas cap, seat, steering and saddlebag locks. In most cases you do not need to tow the bike to a dealer or wait on a key ordered by mail. Pick your city below for local details, or call or text with your year, make and model.

Riding roads we get called to around San Diego

Keys go missing at fuel stops, overlooks and trailheads as often as they do at home. These are the routes local riders use most.

SR-79 through Cuyamaca: Heads north from Descanso through Cuyamaca Rancho State Park toward Julian, one of the county's favorite rides.
Sunrise Highway (S1): Climbs from I-8 to Mount Laguna with big desert views and long stretches with no services.
Harbison Canyon Road and Dehesa Road: A twisty way back down toward El Cajon past Sycuan.
Montezuma Grade (S22): Montezuma Valley Road from S2 through Ranchita, then a steep, winding descent into Borrego Springs.

Local dealerships can order a key by VIN or key code. That works when you can wait for the part and the bike can get to them. When the bike will not start or you need it today, we make the key where it sits.
