Wheel Alignment Sublet and Verification Form
Record four-wheel alignment readings, sublet provider details, and ADAS calibration readiness in one verification form. Use it after collision repair to confirm the vehicle is within spec before calibration starts.

Overview
The Wheel Alignment Sublet and Verification Form documents the alignment work that must be confirmed before ADAS calibration on a repaired vehicle. It captures repair order and vehicle identification, the sublet provider or in-house technician details, four-wheel alignment readings, thrust angle, and a clear yes/no readiness check with a blocking issue field when the vehicle is not ready.
Use this template when collision repair, suspension work, or steering repairs may affect alignment and the next step is ADAS calibration. It helps the shop keep one record that connects the alignment result to the calibration decision, which is useful when work is split between a sublet vendor and the repair facility. The form also supports a cleaner audit trail by tying the readings to a specific repair order, invoice, and technician attestation.
Do not use this as a general vehicle inspection form or as a substitute for the alignment machine printout. It is not meant for routine maintenance, tire rotations, or unrelated safety checks. If the vehicle has not been repaired, does not need calibration, or the shop does not verify alignment before calibration, this template may be more detailed than necessary. Keep only the fields your process uses, and use conditional logic to show blocking issue details only when the vehicle is not calibration-ready.
What's inside this template
Repair Order and Vehicle Identification
This section ties the alignment verification to one specific repair order and vehicle so the record is easy to trace later.
- Repair Order Number
-
VIN Last 8 Characters
Enter only the last 8 characters of the VIN to minimize PII exposure.
- Vehicle Year
- Vehicle Make
- Vehicle Model
- Alignment Date
Sublet Alignment Provider
This section documents who performed the alignment and what equipment or invoice supports the work.
- Alignment Performed By
- Sublet Vendor Name
- Vendor Invoice Number
-
Alignment Equipment Used
Enter the alignment rack or equipment identifier used for the measurement.
Four-Wheel Alignment Readings
This section captures the actual measurements that determine whether the vehicle can move forward to calibration.
- Front Left Toe
- Front Right Toe
- Rear Left Toe
- Rear Right Toe
- Front Camber Reading
- Rear Camber Reading
-
Thrust Angle
Record the final thrust angle used to determine ADAS calibration readiness.
- Are all required alignment readings within manufacturer specification?
-
Out-of-Spec Notes and Corrective Action
Describe any readings outside specification, the corrective action taken, and whether the vehicle was returned for re-alignment.
ADAS Calibration Readiness Verification
This section records the pass/fail decision and explains any blocker before calibration begins.
- Is the vehicle ready for ADAS calibration?
- Blocking Issue
- Blocking Issue Details
Technician Attestation
This section creates accountability by showing who reviewed the record and confirmed the final status.
- Technician Name
- Technician Signature
-
Attestation
I attest that the alignment readings recorded above are accurate and that this vehicle’s alignment status has been verified for ADAS calibration readiness.
How to use this template
- Enter the repair order number, VIN last 8, vehicle details, and alignment date so the record is tied to one specific vehicle event.
- Record who performed the alignment, the vendor name if it was sublet, the vendor invoice number, and the equipment used to support traceability.
- Fill in the four-wheel alignment readings and thrust angle using the machine printout or verified measurements, then mark whether the vehicle is within spec.
- If the vehicle is not ready for ADAS calibration, complete the blocking issue fields with the exact reason and any required next action.
- Have the responsible technician review the completed form, sign the attestation, and submit it so the shop has a clear handoff record before calibration begins.
Best practices
- Use numeric input fields for alignment values so technicians do not enter free-text measurements that are hard to compare later.
- Show the blocking issue details field only when calibration_ready is marked no, so the form stays short when the vehicle passes verification.
- Attach or reference the alignment machine report whenever possible, because the form should capture the decision and the source data should support it.
- Mark required versus optional fields clearly, and keep optional notes limited to information that will actually be used in the calibration handoff.
- Record the vendor invoice number and alignment equipment used when the work is sublet, since those details help resolve disputes or rechecks.
- Use a technician attestation that names the person who reviewed the readings, not just the person who typed them into the form.
- Keep the form focused on the calibration decision and avoid adding unrelated repair notes that belong in the repair order.
What this template typically catches
Issues teams running this template most often surface in practice:
Common use cases
Frequently asked questions
When should this form be used?
Use it after a wheel alignment has been performed and before any ADAS calibration begins. It is designed for collision repair workflows where alignment results need to be documented as part of the calibration handoff. If no calibration is planned, you may not need the readiness section. If the vehicle was not sublet, the provider fields can still document in-house work.
Who should complete the form?
A technician, alignment specialist, or shop employee responsible for verifying the final alignment should complete it. The person signing should be the one who reviewed the readings and confirmed whether the vehicle is ready for calibration. If your shop uses a separate verifier, that role can be assigned through the form workflow. Keep the attestation tied to the person who actually checked the measurements.
Does this replace the alignment printout from the machine?
No. This form captures the shop’s verification and the key readings, but it should usually be paired with the alignment machine report or vendor invoice. The printout provides supporting evidence, while the form records the decision about calibration readiness. If your process requires an audit trail, attach or reference the source document in the vendor invoice or internal record.
What if the alignment is not within spec?
Mark the vehicle as not ready for calibration and complete the blocking issue fields. Common blockers include out-of-spec toe, camber, thrust angle, damaged suspension parts, or missing repair completion. This helps prevent premature calibration and creates a clear handoff for additional repair or recheck. Do not sign off as ready until the issue is resolved and reverified.
How often should this form be used?
Use it for each vehicle that requires alignment verification before ADAS calibration, especially after collision repair. It is not a recurring inspection form; it is tied to a specific repair order and vehicle event. If your shop handles multiple calibrations per day, this form should be completed every time the alignment status affects calibration readiness. That keeps the record consistent and searchable.
Can this form be customized for different vehicle makes or shop processes?
Yes. You can add make-specific notes, extra measurement fields, or conditional logic for different ADAS workflows. Many shops also add attachment fields for alignment reports, photos, or vendor documents. Keep customization focused on what you actually use so the form stays fast to complete and easy to review.
What should be included in the blocking issue details?
Include the specific reason calibration cannot proceed, such as a measurement outside tolerance, unresolved suspension damage, or missing sublet documentation. Avoid vague notes like "needs work" because they do not help the next technician. The goal is to create a clear action item that explains what must happen before the vehicle can move forward. If the issue is safety-related, note that clearly.
How does this form help compared with informal notes or a text message?
It creates a structured record with required fields, validation, and a clear attestation instead of scattered messages. That makes it easier to confirm who checked the alignment, what the readings were, and whether the vehicle was ready for calibration. It also reduces missed details when the vehicle moves between sublet vendors and in-house technicians. A consistent form supports a cleaner audit trail.
