Very high possibility your clutch cable snapped... since you too it to a shop I am not sure it you'll understand this but...

Look between where the stock location of the battery and lower radiator hose is. You will see a big black plastic nut with "ribbed" edges. That is how you tighten and loosen the clutch cable. The cable continues down to an arm. Is the cable snug or does it have a lot of slack in it - it is it even still attached to the arm?

if the clutch goes down to easy it seems to me like the clutch cable, that's the only thing between your clutch and the pedal so check what N3va3vaSatisfi3d said

Well the only way to align a clutch is by having the transmission out, and I'm guessing they didn't when they had your car in the shop.

When you say they "tightened" the clutch, you mean the cable right?

If so, I concur with what the other posters said.

Uhhh... Yes. Obviously you can't disengage the clutch or switch if the pedal is broke. That is your problem.
