Montecito is a quiet, wooded community between Santa Barbara and Summerland, but it sits on some favorite local roads. Highway 192 winds through as East Valley Road, Mountain Drive leads west along the foothills toward Gibraltar Road, and Coast Village Road and the 101 tie it to Santa Barbara and Carpinteria. Bikes end up parked in the Upper Village, along Coast Village Road and near Butterfly Beach and Miramar.
Trailheads at Hot Springs, San Ysidro, Cold Spring and Romero canyons draw riders who park and hike, and many roads here have little street parking and lots of private driveways and gates. If you lose a key on a hike, at a hotel or at a friend's gate, we come to the bike to cut and program a new key, remove broken keys and repair ignitions. Have your photo ID and registration or title ready.

Local notes for Montecito riders
- Trailhead parking on the Hot Springs, San Ysidro and Romero canyon roads is limited, so read the posted signs before leaving a stranded bike there.
- Many Montecito homes sit behind gates on narrow private lanes, so if the bike is on private property, have the gate code ready or someone to meet us at the entrance.
- Butterfly Beach parking is on the street along Channel Drive and fills fast on sunny days, so note the nearest cross street or landmark.

Montecito motorcycle key FAQ
I am staying at a Montecito hotel and lost my bike key. Can you come to the hotel?
Yes. Let the front desk or valet know a locksmith is coming for your motorcycle, and tell us where the bike is parked. We confirm ownership with your photo ID and registration or title before making the key.
Can you work on a vintage or high-end bike without damaging it?
Yes. We work only on motorcycles and scooters and protect the paint and bodywork around the ignition and locks while we work. On collectible bikes we can often make a key that fits the original ignition instead of replacing it.
I lost my key on the San Ysidro trail. What should I do?
Make sure the bike is parked legally at the trailhead, then call with the road name and the nearest cross street. Have your photo ID and registration or title with you so we can make a new key when we arrive.
