Santee sits at the end of the trolley's Green Line, and a lot of riders park at Santee Trolley Square, around Santee Town Center or at the Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve. It is also where SR-52 and SR-67 meet, so commuters headed to Kearny Mesa and riders headed up to Ramona both pass through. When a key goes missing or snaps off in the ignition anywhere in town, we come to the bike instead of making you arrange a tow.
Mission Trails Regional Park borders the west side of town, and Mission Gorge Road and SR-52 are the main routes between Santee and San Diego. Riders also head north on SR-67 toward Ramona and the backcountry, where cell coverage starts to thin out. We cut and program replacement keys, repair ignitions and remove broken keys at your bike. Before we make a key, we check photo ID and registration or title.

Santee motorcycle key FAQ
My key fell out somewhere on a Mission Trails hike and my bike is at the trailhead. Can you help?
Yes. We come to the trailhead lot and make a new key at the bike, even if you have no spare. Have your photo ID and registration or title with you, since we confirm ownership before cutting a key.
My bike is financed. What do I need to show to get a new key?
Photo ID and a registration that lists you as the registered owner is what we look for. A financed bike's registration still shows you as the registered owner even though the lender holds the title, so bring that.
Someone tried to steal my bike and wrecked the ignition. Can you replace it?
Yes. We install a new ignition at the bike and cut keys to match, and where the design allows, we set up the seat and gas cap locks to work with the same key. That saves a tow to a shop with a bike that may not start.
Helpful guides
- Cruiser and Touring Motorcycle Keys: Bags, Forks, FobsYes, keys for cruisers and touring bikes can be replaced, and on most of them it is a mechanical job because the key is a plain cut or barrel key.
- Dealer vs Locksmith for a Motorcycle Key: Which to CallFor plain metal keys, broken keys, worn ignitions and many transponder keys, a mobile motorcycle locksmith can usually do the work where the bike sits, often for less.
- Dirt Bike and Dual Sport Keys: Which Bikes Have ThemMany dirt bikes have no key at all, so the first step is knowing which kind you ride.
