Motorcycle Locksmith: Upper State Street and San Roque

Upper State Street is the commercial corridor on the northwest side of Santa Barbara, running from the San Roque area out to the interchange where Highway 101 meets Highway 154. Unlike downtown, it is built for vehicles: shopping centers with their own lots, restaurants, banks and the auto dealerships on Hitchcock Way. San Roque, between State Street and the foothills, is almost entirely residential, and Samarkand is the residential pocket beside it.

For riders this is also the staging point for San Marcos Pass. Highway 154 begins here, and people top off the tank and meet friends on upper State before heading over the mountain. A key lost at the pump or broken in a gas cap in one of these lots does not have to end the day. We are a mobile locksmith for motorcycles and scooters only, and we cut and program keys, extract broken ones and repair locks beside the bike. Photo ID and registration or title are required.

The lots along the corridor

Most parking on upper State Street is private, attached to a shopping center or a single business. That makes the center's name the most useful thing you can tell us, followed by the store you are parked in front of.

La Cumbre Plaza, the mall on Hope Avenue just off State Street.
Five Points Shopping Center, near where State Street meets La Cumbre Road.
Loreto Plaza, at State Street and Las Positas Road.
MacKenzie Park, the city park at the same intersection.
Earl Warren Showgrounds, at Las Positas Road and Calle Real.
Stevens Park, in San Roque near San Roque Road and Foothill Road.

Private lot rules

Shopping center lots are for customers, and many post signs about overnight parking and towing. If your key is lost and the bike has to stay after the stores close, go inside and tell the store or the center's management before you leave. A note with your name and number on the bike is better than nothing, but a conversation is better than a note.

If your bike is inside the Earl Warren Showgrounds during an event, tell us which gate you came in so we can ask to be let through the same way.

Heading for the pass

State Street runs out to the Highway 154 interchange, and Foothill Road, which is Highway 192, crosses the top of San Roque and ends at 154 a little farther up. If something feels wrong with the key or ignition while you are still down here, deal with it before the climb. A key that sticks at a gas station on upper State is an inconvenience. The same key breaking at a turnout on the mountain is a longer afternoon.

Upper State Street and San Roque motorcycle key FAQ

I stopped for gas before riding San Marcos Pass and my key broke in the gas cap. Can you fix it at the station?

Yes. Leave the broken piece where it is and do not force the cap. We extract the fragment, check the lock and cut a new key at the station. Bring out your photo ID and registration or title.

My bike is in the La Cumbre Plaza lot and I have to leave it overnight. Will it be towed?

That is up to the property, not us. Tell mall security or management what happened and where the bike is, and arrange the key for the next morning if it cannot be done before closing.

I live in San Roque. Can you come to my garage to add a spare key?

Yes. Adding a spare at home is straightforward, and for chip keys we program it to the bike while we are there. Have a working key, your ID and the registration available.

Is there a motorcycle dealer near upper State Street?

The nearest multi-brand motorcycle dealer is Wheels In Motion on Hollister Avenue in Goleta.
