How did this work out with the shop? I would hope that it's been resolved by now.
Keep an eye on your new D-loop. There is a reason that the old one failed and it probably hasn't been fixed yet.
If you have to change a D-loop, you remove it with needle nose pliers. Hold the "live" part of the knot with the pliers and push the loop part of the knot. Never touch the string with the plyers, only the loop.
I tighten my loops with a pair of snap ring pliers and get them much tighter than most. With this technique, I have no difficulty removing loops safely. No knives needed.
