Mira Mesa sits on the mesa between I-805 and I-15, with Los Penasquitos Canyon on its north edge and MCAS Miramar to the south. Most bikes here are commuters: they spend the day in a Sorrento Mesa office lot, a student space at San Diego Miramar College or a stall at Mira Mesa Market Center, and they get home on Mira Mesa Boulevard. We are a mobile locksmith for motorcycles and scooters only, and we come to the bike wherever in Mira Mesa it is parked.
The west end of the community, Sorrento Mesa and Sorrento Valley, is where Qualcomm and a long list of biotech and technology companies have their campuses. That matters when a key goes missing at work, because the bike may be inside an employee structure or behind a gate. Tell us the building name and the nearest cross street, and bring photo ID plus the registration or title so we can confirm ownership before a new key is cut.
Where bikes get stranded in Mira Mesa
Mira Mesa Boulevard is the spine of the neighborhood. It runs the full width of the mesa from I-15 to I-805, and nearly every shopping center, apartment complex and office park opens onto it or onto one of its main cross streets: Black Mountain Road, Camino Ruiz and Camino Santa Fe.
On the east side, Mira Mesa Market Center on Westview Parkway is the busiest retail stop, and San Diego Miramar College and its transit station are a short ride south off Black Mountain Road. On the west side, Sorrento Mesa is almost entirely office and lab buildings, and the Sorrento Valley Coaster station sits below the mesa near where I-5 and I-805 merge.

Local notes for Mira Mesa riders
- Parking at the Miramar College Transit Station on Hillery Drive and in the college lots is controlled by posted permit rules, so read the signs before you leave a bike there for the day.
- Mira Mesa Boulevard is slow in both directions at rush hour. Give us the cross street, such as Black Mountain Road, Camino Ruiz or Camino Santa Fe, and which side of the boulevard the lot entrance is on.
- The closest motorcycle dealerships are down in Kearny Mesa and over in Poway, so getting a keyless bike to one means a tow along I-15 or I-805. A key made at the bike avoids that.
Riding roads near Mira Mesa
- Mira Mesa Boulevard: The main east-west commuter route across the mesa between I-15 and I-805. It is signal to signal and backs up toward both freeways at rush hour.

- Miramar Road: The southern route between I-15 and I-805, running along the north side of MCAS Miramar past industrial parks and breweries.
- Sorrento Valley Road and Vista Sorrento Parkway: The low roads on the west side that connect the office parks and the Coaster station to I-5 and I-805.

Mira Mesa motorcycle key FAQ
I lost my key at work in Sorrento Mesa and the bike is in the company garage. Can you still get to it?
Yes, as long as we can be let in. Arrange access with security or the front desk, tell us the building and level, and have your photo ID and registration or title with you so we can confirm ownership at the bike.
My scooter is parked at Miramar College and the key is gone. Do you work on campus?
Yes. We come to the student lots and the transit station off Hillery Drive and work on scooters as well as motorcycles. Tell us the lot and the nearest building when you call.
I dropped my key hiking in Los Penasquitos Canyon. Can you meet me at the trailhead?
Yes. Tell us which side of the preserve the bike is parked on, for example the Black Mountain Road end or the Sorrento Valley end, and we make a replacement key there once ownership is confirmed.
Helpful guides

- Bought a Used Motorcycle With No Key? Here's What to DoA used or auction motorcycle without keys can usually get new ones, but plan on the full all-keys-lost process and bring the signed title or other transfer paperwork plus photo ID, since a locksmith or dealer has to tie you to the VIN.
- Broken Motorcycle Key in the Ignition: What to DoIf your key snaps in the motorcycle ignition, stop, keep both pieces, and do not try to turn the cylinder with the stub or dig the fragment out with a knife or screwdriver.
