Should car dealers be charging car buyer for etching even though the consumer did not request it?

Asked by JaneP195 May 01, 2013 at 09:57 AM about the Honda Accord Coupe

Question type: Car Customization

Bought a car recently and was charged automatically for etching. I did question such action, but was told that all dealers are doing so now. This is not my first time buying a car and usually have the option of weather or not I want etching.
Should I be charged automatically for etching?

Not all dealers are etching windows. That dealer is making money on every car that is etched.
