So I bought a 2015 Silverado short bed and want to get a spray in bed liner and a roll up locking bed cover installed. Anyone have experience with shops in north OC, recommendations good or bad? Seems like everyone thinks their product is the best!

Thanks for the input!

I have done business with both line x and rhino liner in Santa Ana. I would recommend checking both. It came down to scheduling and price when I recently had the guys at rhino liner do a 20' enclosed trailer for me. They did a great job!

I've had both Rhino Liner and Line X. I prefer the Line X. I think it last longer and is easier to repair. Both are quality and I wouldn't use anything but these 2 as they have both been around 20+ years now.

Roll up cover that locks? That kinda sounds like an oxymoron.

something like this, anyone have experience with this type of system?

That looks like it has rails and fittings along the edge. I considered a soft tonneau originally but then considered that it was simple to cut open and not secure really. I chose a Bak-Flip Fiber max instead. It still allows you to have a full open bed like the roll up type but does block rear window view if in that position. In my eyes this is much more secure, especially with a locking tailgate.

I've had both Rhino Liner and Line-X and prefer Line-X, it's harder and more durable. Rhino is softer, easier on the bare knees and keeps stuff sliding around, but it seems to wear, where the Line-X doesn't seem to wear.

I've got a hard tonneau, if you go that route, mine is a Gaylord's - If I did it again I'd go with SnugTop, it's a better built unit. The Gaylords seems not as heavy duty, almost kind of flimsy in comparison.

I have the Bak Roll X. Really impressed with it. Makes your bed so much more functional. Only minor issue is the seam where the cover meets the tailgate is not 100% waterproof. As long as I keep the last foot of my bed empty I don't have to worry a about anything getting wet.

Bought mine on amazon. Installed in 30 mins. Vinyl looks good 8 months later.

I prefer Line-X.

We did our dump trailer probably 3 or 4 years ago and it has held up great. Truck beds are no problem at all.

I put Line-X in my Sierra nearly 4 years ago, super pleased with it, tough stuff, not a single problem. My tonneau is an Access Vanish, it is overall pretty good, but the velco let go about a year ago, I had to rivet snaps to the rails to keep it down. Otherwise it is great, and the back bar locks down. It is lower profile than the truxedo.

I've had this locking roll cover since about 05-06 and my cousin had it before then and I love it.

It is metal underneath so nobody could really just cut it and get in, I also had the tailgate lock put in as well but that is acting up a bit., need to get a new roll and they offered me a great deal around X-mas but I didn't have the cash.

We have installed a lot of bed covers from flip type,solid and roll ups retractables.Just installed one yesterday and this one is by far hands down the best quality and fitting that i have seen or installed. RETRAX PRO with wide rails price is a few hundred more than any of the others but well worth the extra $

I was looking at these online, where are you located? like I said in the OP every shop says theirs in the best etc..first hand experience is what I am looking for. You don't happen to have any photos of it rolled all the way open?

I had one on my last truck. Definitely a nice cover but you lose about 12 inches of bed space for the container.

No Photos sorry, we installed it yesterday on a customers 2015 silverado and he has since picked it up.I will say this, I am not in the truck accessorie business so as far as pushing one over the other for me is just my opinion from the ones we have sold and installed.I normally tell the customer to go online research which cover they like and i can get about anyone for them.So no kick backs or incentives for me,This Retrax is by far hands down best fitting,low profile,smoothest operating cover i have seen to date.

How hard is it to take off and store? the kids have dirtbikes so I need to be able to move it out of the way.

Pretty easy to take off and store if you have 2 people. You remove 2 "key rings" up where the bed meets the cab, then remove 2 clips at the shocks that attach on the bottom side of the tonneau. Then just lift up and slide back to remove.
