Take this back to the dipstick at the garage. Its their responsibilty to fix it if they broke it. You will have to take the tube off the motor and replace it. But I would take it back and get firm with these guys. Sometime you can get a magnetic wand for a buck or two and pull it up or maybe a pari of needle nose pliiyers and goto a junkyard and get a different one

The dipstick if you are looking at the engine is on the left side of the valve cover approximately halfway form the front and back. It is located where the cover meets the engine block. The yellow plastic grab loop may be broken off, making it hard to identify the dipstick. That was exactly where it was on my 1997 Sidekick and it also had been broken off making it difficult to find. It looked like it was a place to connect for a thermostat or something but no it was the dipstick.
