Oak View is an unincorporated community of about six thousand people along Highway 33 in the Ventura River valley, with Casitas Springs to the south toward Ventura and Mira Monte to the north toward Ojai. It was named in 1925 for its oak groves and grew after the Second World War as housing for workers in the nearby oil industry. Highway 33, which carries the street name Ventura Avenue here, is its main street.

Riders know Oak View as a stop on the way to or from the Highway 33 mountain road and as the place to turn off for Lake Casitas. We are a mobile locksmith that works only on motorcycles and scooters. We come out to Oak View homes, shops and roadside stops to make keys when all are lost, cut and program spares, extract snapped keys and repair ignition, seat and gas cap locks. Photo ID plus the registration or title is needed before a key is made.

## Where people get stuck here

A lost or broken key in this valley usually comes down to one of a handful of situations.

- A stop for fuel or food on Ventura Avenue on the way to or from the Highway 33 climb, and a key that did not make it back into a pocket.
- A bike left at home on one of the side streets off Highway 33 while the only key went to work in someone else's car.
- A day at Lake Casitas, where the Casitas Municipal Water District's recreation area has a staffed main gate and day use hours that are generally sunrise to sunset.
- A walk or bicycle ride on the Ojai Valley Trail, the mostly paved path on the old railroad right-of-way along the west side of Oak View, with the motorcycle left where you joined the trail.

## The river and the road

The Ventura River, the highway and the trail all run through this valley close together. The freeway section of Highway 33 from Ventura ends near Casitas Springs, and from there north through Oak View it is an ordinary surface road with driveways and cross streets. If your bike is stopped on the highway itself, do not wait on the shoulder. Push it into a side street or a parking lot, then call and tell us the cross street.

In wet winters the river and the creeks that feed it run high, and roads that cross the river bottom can be closed for a time. Tell us if you passed a closure sign on your way in.

## Local facilities

The former Oak View Elementary School on Santa Ana Boulevard is now the Oak View Park and Resource Center, and the county library has a branch on Mahoney Avenue. Both are easy places to name and to find if your bike is somewhere awkward and can be pushed a short way. The Casitas Municipal Water District office is on Ventura Avenue.

## Oak View motorcycle key FAQ

### Do you cover Oak View, Casitas Springs and Mira Monte?

Yes. They sit in a row along Highway 33 between Ventura and Ojai, and we come to the bike in any of them. Give us the community name and the nearest cross street.

### My key broke in the ignition at a gas stop in Oak View. Should I try to get the piece out myself?

Please leave it. Digging at the broken piece tends to push it deeper and can damage the lock. We remove the fragment with the right tools and cut a new key from the two halves or from the lock.

### I am inside the Lake Casitas recreation area without a key. Can you get in?

The recreation area has a staffed gate and entry rules, so tell the gate staff that a locksmith is coming to your vehicle and give us your campsite or lot. Its gate hours change through the year, which limits how late we can enter.
