I haven't tried making a PCB for over a decade.

$5 PCBs sound great, but what might appeal to me even more is an associated robotic CNC and surface mount service to install all the fiddly stuff and source the 10-50 whatevers of each thing I need from an assembly house's yearly consumption of 5 million Xs.

Are there any services like that? Where small runs are possible without the massive cost effect if picking parts that are already in flow?

Yes, lots of them. JLPCB even has a promo right now where they do SMT assembly for free.
