My engine started making knocking or rattling noise when I gave it for a general service. When I asked the mechanics about the problem they were not responding. And then I showed it to another mechanic who made engine oil and filter change the noise became worse. Don't understand who to trust. Suggest me some idea.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

What services were done by the first shop? Also, can you record the noise and upload it for me to hear? A knock or rattle can be multiple things, but I'm not sure why an oil change would have made it worse. I need to hear it.

Now, take a look through this link. It discusses different conditions that can cause engine knocking. See if there is anything that seems to mirror what you hear.

Let me know.

Take care,
