Brian, I have found a PCB house that specializes in one of a kind PCB, its an all notouch/online process. The price for a single two sided board ( I have made boards up to 8.5 X 4 inches) is under $100 USA. Three boards are still under $100. You register online and then you can submit your gerber files and drill files for automatic file verification in a standard zip file. You associate layers with files in a web form and then verify the hole count/size for plated through holes and wait for verification. All you need to do then is give them a credit card number and in four working days your board(s) will ship. The link is http://www.protoexpress.com Kicad files go through the verification process easily with two exceptions, make sure your board edge is 0.010" and DO NOT mirror your drill file. When you create the NC drill file the default option is to mirror the Y axis, Proto express expects all the files to be non-mirrored. I have made six boards here and everyone worked as designed out of the box.
