A lot of Ventura County rides start and end in Ventura. Highway 33 leaves town for Ojai and the Los Padres backcountry, the old coast road runs north along Rincon, and Harbor Boulevard links the beaches to Ventura Harbor. That puts a lot of bikes in beach lots for hours at a time: at Surfers Point, the pier, the fairgrounds and Ventura Harbor Village. Keys get lost in the sand, in a borrowed jacket or in a wetsuit pocket.
If you are stuck without a working key in Ventura, we come to the bike. It might be on Main Street downtown, in a Pierpont driveway or in a lot off Telegraph Road near Ventura College. We replace lost keys, pull out keys that snapped in the ignition, program transponder keys for newer bikes, and fix seat, gas cap and saddlebag locks that salt air has stiffened. Keep your photo ID and registration or title with you so we can confirm the bike is yours.

Local notes for Ventura riders
- Bikes kept near the pier, Pierpont and Ventura Harbor sit in salt air, so if a seat or ignition lock starts to stick, have it looked at before a key snaps off inside it.
- Lots around the Ventura County Fairgrounds fill and get rearranged during the fair and big events, so write down the gate or lot where you left the bike.
- Cell service drops out not far north of Ojai on Highway 33, so if you lose a key up there, note the nearest turnout or mile marker before you leave to find signal.

Ventura motorcycle key FAQ
I lost my key surfing at C Street. Can you make a new one in the beach lot?
Yes. We come to the bike at Surfers Point, the promenade or any Ventura beach lot, and in most cases we can cut and program a new key right there, even with no original to copy. Have your photo ID and registration or title with you so we can confirm ownership.
My key barely turns after months parked near Ventura Harbor. What should I do?
Salt air near the harbor and the Keys wears and corrodes lock parts, and forcing a sticky key is how keys snap. Stop forcing it and have the ignition checked. Often it can be repaired, and if not, we can replace it and supply keys to match.
Can you meet me at the Ventura Amtrak station or a downtown parking structure?
Yes. We are mobile and work wherever the bike is parked safely, including the station lot by the fairgrounds and the downtown garages. Tell us the lot or the nearest cross street so we can find the bike.
