Modern alignment equipment is design to be used with trained monkeys. You don't have to know alignment basics just push buttons.

Obviously the tech in the OP's story does not know how to do an alignment.

Edit - to Fitz's comment, there's nothing to stop them from aligning the vehicle. The spec only make the screen change from red to green. Alignments should be done by numbers not colors
