I've seen hobbyists use JLC PCB in the past for low quantity runs and the quality always seems astounding with relatively quick turnaround times (several days). https://jlcpcb.com/

Looks like they do SMT mount now too which wasn't the case last time I looked at their offering.

I've used them many times and have always been extremely satisfied. The downside is the three week wait times.

FWIW PCBWay generally gets my weekend orders to me within the week, and costs about the same as JLC ($5 for 5 boards plus $15 shipping). In some cases I've put an order in on Friday night and gotten them on Tuesday.

Where do you live?

Have had several orders with this timeline. I’m in California.

Yeah, shipping in the US is much faster. Here in Greece you have to pay 3 euros minimum on shipping charges and shipping from anywhere in the EU will take at least a week.
