Business: The Motorcycle Locksmith, mobile motorcycle locksmith. Phone and text: (619) 775-1858 (San Diego side).

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.
