Jiffy Lube will certainly perform a background check. Employers must confirm your identity and your eligibility to work in the United States. You give permission for a background check by signing this statement on the Jiffy Lube application form:
“I understand that . . . as a condition of any employment offer, I will need to pass a pre-employment drug screen and background check. I certify that all of the information I have provided is true.”
