Thick (60mm) pavers can be done as an overlay. The front apron and approach to the garage just needs to be removed a little deeper and wider than with thin paver installation.
If your pavers are Flagstone pavers, as most are, the problem was with the installation. If they are from the Co. that went out of business a few years ago, the concrete was too weak for driveway overlays, and there was no spacer on the sides of the pavers, causing spalling and cracking as well.
They are an easy DIY if you know the tricks the pros use to keep them from cracking.
To buy them wholesale, you have to own a business, and set up an account with Flagstone Pavers.
I have a friend who has a company here in TV doing pavers lower than any other paver company and giving lifetime repairs to cracked pavers. He says it is so easy to fix the occasional cracked paver, and he sells a job to the neighbor half the time while he is there, he actually is GLAD when he gets the occasional cracked call, and it's rare they crack with the newer pavers.
Shoot me a PM if you want his number.
