Carpinteria is a small beach town at the eastern edge of Santa Barbara County, and riders pass through it constantly. Highway 150 starts just east of town and climbs over Casitas Pass to Lake Casitas and Ojai. Highway 192 winds west toward Montecito, and the 101 runs along the ocean at Rincon into Ventura County. Bikes get parked along Linden Avenue downtown, at Carpinteria State Beach and at the Rincon Point surf break.
Carpinteria also has an Amtrak stop on Linden Avenue and a bluffs trail above the harbor seal rookery, both popular places to leave a bike. Ocean air reaches the whole town, so salt corrosion in ignition and seat locks is a real issue here. If your key is lost, broken or will not turn, we come to the bike in Carpinteria or out at Rincon. Have your photo ID and registration or title ready.

Local notes for Carpinteria riders
- Highway 150 over Casitas Pass has tight curves, narrow shoulders and few turnouts, so pull fully off at a wide spot before you call.
- The lots off Bates Road at Rincon fill early when the surf is up, so tell us which lot the bike is in and what it looks like.
- Bikes kept near the beach in Carpinteria live in salt air, so seat, gas cap and ignition locks that start to stick should be looked at before a key breaks.

Carpinteria motorcycle key FAQ
I lost my key surfing Rincon. Can you come to the lot off Bates Road?
Yes. We come to the bike in the Rincon lots and make a new key there, even if you have no original. Have your photo ID and registration or title with you so we can confirm ownership.
My key broke off in the gas cap lock at a gas station on Linden Avenue. Can that be fixed?
Yes. We remove the broken piece from the gas cap lock, check the lock for damage, and cut a new key. If the gas cap lock is worn or corroded from the salt air, we can repair or replace it and match it to your key.
Do you handle helmet locks and saddlebags too?
Yes. Besides keys and ignitions, we work on gas cap, seat, steering, saddlebag and helmet locks, and can often match them to one key where the parts allow.
Helpful guides
- How to Find Your Motorcycle Key CodeA motorcycle key code is a short number or letter-number code that tells a locksmith or dealer how to cut a key for your locks.
- Kawasaki KIPASS Warnings: NO TRANSPONDER and OthersOn a Kawasaki Concours 14, NO TRANSPONDER means the bike cannot find its KIPASS fob nearby, and you have about 10 seconds, while the warning symbol is showing, to bring a registered fob back and switch on again.
- Keyless Motorcycle Not Detecting the Key: Causes and BackupsOwner's manuals give a short list of reasons a keyless bike fails to detect its fob: a weak fob battery, the fob carried against a phone, laptop or metal object, strong radio interference nearby, the fob switched off or out of range, and a low battery on the bike itself.
