I live in Croatia, 150km from Hungarian border and I'm hearing about stories like this one every now and then.
But you see Hungary is not an isolated case similar thing happened to me last year in Prague.
I had an accident, I called the police and in a few minutes this guy came with towing truck and bunch of papers for me to sign.
The scam goes like this, they "promise" (written on Czech, his translation  ) you a replacment car if you give your car in their workshop of course first they are silent about the prices.
After they charge you heavily for everything, towing, repairs and replacmet car.
I was lucky that police came quickly and told me that this guy is a frouad and told him to take a hike.
I think that for a someone who travels extensively some kind of international service like ADAC or similar is a must.
