Is Peugeot's Accident Assistance service worthwhile?

I recently took my Peugeot to a main dealer for its first MOT. When I collected the car they offered me "Peugeot Accident Assistance". Is this just another accident claims company or does it offer real benefits?

The point of Peugeot's Accident Assistance is to keep you out of the clutches of accident management charlatans and credit hire crooks, and to ensure that your car is repaired to a standard at which it can be retailed. As long as this is actually the case, you win three ways.
