Do you use a comma before parenthesis?
There might be a situation in which you would use a comma before a parenthesis, but generally you do not do this. A pair of parentheses already sets its contents apart from the rest of a sentence, so there is no need for a comma to precede the left parenthesis.
Is is correct to put a period after etc then close the parenthesis then a period outside the parenthesis at the end of a sentence?
Actually it should look like this (cars, airplanes, trains, etc.). But if the sentence ends with an abbreviation, the single period will serve to end the sentence, as in cars, airplanes, trains, etc. You do not use double periods. You can, however, use a question mark or exclamation point after a period that ends a sentence. Were you talking about cars, airplanes, trains, etc.? If this looks unusual, it is because abbreviations, such as etc., are generally avoided at the ends of sentences.
How do you punctuate the end of a sentence with parenthesis?
In a sentence, parenthesis (also known as "brackets") are used to include one thought (or more) inside another thought without interrupting the flow or direction of the thought. (This would be the third parenthesis, by the way. You can also use them before or after a sentence, so long as it is a "non-sequitur" [meaning "does not follow" in Latin] kind of thought).
