Suspension and alignment record reconciliation workbook
A shop finding, a proposed repair and a returned alignment report are different records. This helpful preparation resource from PickYourPro.ai helps you connect them without interpreting measurements or choosing parts. Use the worksheets, printable checklist and questions to ask the shop which records belong together and who will clarify a missing or mismatched item.

Preparation only, not diagnosis, road-testing, repair, parts selection, alignment adjustment, measurement interpretation, torque or calibration instructions. The qualified shop must explain findings and vehicle-specific requirements. Report receipt is not a safe-to-drive determination or work acceptance. Keep VINs, registration, personal identifiers and private records out.

How to use this resource
Ask the shop for its existing finding and proposal references. On page 1, give each finding and repair line a neutral label, such as Finding A and Repair Line A. Copy the shop's component or position label and its proposed work in plain language. Record an actual authorization reference separately if one exists; this worksheet does not authorize anything. On page 2, connect Report A or B to the relevant service line and keep initial and final report references and dates distinct. Ask the shop to confirm the records refer to the intended vehicle and visit without copying a VIN or registration here. Record questions, not alignment numbers or your interpretation of colored charts. If the shop confirms additional work is part of the service, ask whether it has a separate report. Do not assume calibration, a reset or any other service is needed or completed. Repeat the pages for additional findings and reports.
Open the PDF in a form-capable viewer, save a copy, then fill it in. Reopen your saved copy to check your answers. You can also print the blank pages and write by hand. Your answers are not submitted to PickYourPro.ai.
MATCH THE RETURNED REPORTS
Record references, not measurements. Ask the shop to confirm which records belong to this visit.
CHECK THE RECORD CONNECTIONS
Tick clarified items, not repair completion or safety. Unanswered points stay open for the shop.
QUESTIONS FOR THE ALIGNMENT SHOP
Record the shop's explanation. Do not test-drive, inspect or adjust anything to fill this in.
COMPARE FINDINGS AND DELIVERABLES
Use Shop A and B. Different findings need clarification before comparing proposed work.
USE IT RIGHT NOW
Suspension & Alignment preparation checklist
- Use the shop's finding reference and component or position label, without diagnosing a cause.
- Connect each proposed repair line to the finding the shop says it addresses.
- Keep proposed work separate from any actual written authorization reference.
- Ask the shop to identify the initial and final report for the relevant service line.
- Check report identity and dates with the shop without copying private vehicle identifiers.
- Record a question about an unclear result instead of interpreting measurements or chart colors.
- Ask about separate records only for additional work the shop confirms is in scope.
- Assign missing or mismatched-record questions to a shop contact role for clarification.
Questions for the suspension and alignment shop
- Which documented finding supports each proposed repair line, using your component and position labels?
- Where are proposed work, actual authorization and subsequent changes recorded separately?
- Which initial and final alignment reports belong to this vehicle visit and service line?
- Can you explain the result I have a question about in your own words and identify unresolved items?
- Is any additional service proposed or completed, and what separate record will you provide for it?
- Who will resolve a missing, mismatched or corrected record, and what updated handoff will I receive?
Write down the answers and any exclusions. If two proposals describe different work, clarify the difference before comparing their totals. Leave unanswered points blank until the professional confirms them.
