No problem. I wish I had better answers for you.

If the door panels are cut, I'd suggest just leaving the tweeters where they are and picking up another set to go in the dash. Something similar to this would work. It doesn't have to be that model but I'd stick with JL Audio to keep everything at least close to acoustically matched.
You could go this route. It generally breaks down to 3 realistic options here, none of which is what I would consider ideal.

1. Purchase new tweeters and leave the existing ones where they are. The existing ones won't be hooked up so they won't be hurting anything where they are. I'm guessing that you're not running an active setup so going with replacement JL tweeters is probably the safest bet.

2. Relocate the tweeters from your doors and source new door panels. I don't think I need to stress the expense that this would incur.

3. Leave everything as is and live with it. When you listen to your stereo are you satisfied with the sound? Despite what myself or anyone else tells you at the end of the day you paid for it so your happiness is the only thing that matters here. If you're satisfied with the way it sounds then does it really matter otherwise?

No matter what you do, I wouldn't let anyone else from that shop anywhere near your car under any circumstances. No serious professional would have done this. To call it amateurish is being exceptionally polite.
