I am guessing that you want un-plated slots for insulation under components.
Can you move the components that need slots, so that pairs of components can each share a long slot?
Otherwise maybe you can get them to drill a hole at one end of each desired slot, and then use an abrafile to turn it from a hole into a slot.

Like others said change supplier. Try youpcb if it's 2-layer (1-2 weeks). You can get V-groove and slots.

But the laser wouldn't require hard tooling. You could decide to cut a slot in a PC board, and have it a minute later.
It would be great if it would remove copper from FR4 too.

At the place where we get sheet metal work done they have a laser to cut metal. It's a monster! Picture from thier website.
(The real place is a lot dirtier than the pictures would lead you to believe.)

We've worked with three laser-cutter companies, delivering custom laser controllers to two of them. All three decided to make their controllers themselves, or get it somewhere cheaper, after we did a lot of work. It seems to be a brutally competitive business, and at least four companies have built big expensive factories to drive down their costs and kill the competition. They can't all be successful at that.
