Within the 1st three minutes... they would have made their mind about you. (i study HR and got told this)
It's all about selling yourself in the best postive manner you can.

Make sure you know quite a bit about Vauxhall itself
Ask questions as the end of the interview about the job/garage etc.
Be smart, although be bold and bright although not big headed...
Sit openly with good body language, don't cross legs and arms 
Keep smiling

tel them that you can keep people on hold while you search, that you can order the wrong parts, that you take the piss out of woman customers and that you genearlly could not GAF about the public

Also eye contact!
Dont do too much or they may think your coming onto them!
If you dont give them eye contact and just stare about the place, they may think you lack in confidence.

memorise the complete listings of the Irmscher catalogue and shout out the part numbers at random times 
Good luck though

Product knowledge is always good - although possibly too late for you now.
The very least i would be looking for if I was interviewing you would be for you to tell me vauxhalls current line up.
