Warranty work- time in shop , add it to warranty peroid ?

I do not know about Florida. I do know that most states now have statutes that specify that the manufacture's warranty is for "user available time". So, if a purchased item is not available for use by the end user for some period of time because of warranty issues, then the period of the warranty is extended by that amount.

Call the state and you might just find a friend with a big stick.
