Solana Beach is small, but it sees a lot of bikes: riders cruising Coast Highway 101 between Del Mar and Cardiff, scooters parked along Cedros Avenue, and concertgoers leaving bikes outside the Belly Up. The Solana Beach train station on Cedros serves both the Coaster and Amtrak, so commuters often leave a bike there all day, and Fletcher Cove draws beach parking from all over North County.
When a key goes missing at the cove, a lock seizes on a bike stored near the bluffs, or a key snaps in the ignition outside a Cedros shop, we come to the bike. We make keys when every key is lost, duplicate spares, program transponder keys and repair or replace ignitions, seat locks and gas caps. Have photo ID and your registration or title ready so we can confirm ownership.

Local notes for Solana Beach riders
- The station lot on Cedros fills with commuters on weekdays, so tell us where in the lot the bike is parked when you call.
- Bikes kept in garages and carports near the bluffs still pick up salt in their locks, so a stiff key on a bike that rarely gets ridden is a common sign it needs attention.
- Parking on Cedros gets tight on Belly Up show nights, so if you are stranded after a show, a spot where we can pull up near the bike helps.

Solana Beach motorcycle key FAQ
I left my bike at the Solana Beach station and lost my key on the train. Now what?
We can come to the station lot and make a new key from the lock, programming it if your bike has a transponder. We need photo ID and the registration or title before we start. If you think the key might turn up, check the transit agency's lost and found as well.
Is it worth repairing a corroded ignition on an older bike kept near the beach?
Often, yes. Many older ignitions can be repaired and rekeyed for less than a full replacement, which is typically the more expensive option. If the housing is cracked or badly corroded, replacing it and matching the other locks to one key is usually the better fix.
Can you match my new key to the seat and gas cap locks too?
Yes. When we replace an ignition, we can also rekey or replace the seat, gas cap and helmet locks so a single key runs everything. That saves you carrying separate keys for different locks on the same bike.
