The part information providing system includes a part information database (20), a retrieving section (11), and a notifying section (17). The part information database (20) stores part information including a price of a first part and identification information of a second part, which serves as a substitute for the first part and which is cheaper in price than the first part, in association with identification of the first part. The retrieving section (11) retrieves identification information of a third part, which is a component of a device, from the part information database and, if the identification information of the third part is associated with the identification information of the second part, retrieves the second part, which serves as a substitute for the third part and which is cheaper in price than the third part, from the part information database (20) using the identification information of the second part by following a link of the identification information of the second part. The notifying section (17) notifies a user of information about the second part retrieved by the retrieving section (11).
