We had the same issue. These were the thin pavers placed over the existing concrete, as opposed to the thicker pavers that are placed after original concrete is removed. The thin pavers had many cracks, and were surprisingly expensive to maintain. Our plan, and the plan we went with, was to have the pavers removed and then have the "textured paint" treatment that is more current "fad", for lack of a kinder word.
OP, the one word of caution I would give you is that once you have the pavers and glue and sand and all of that removed, be prepared for a permanent discoloration caused by the thin pavers. They must have some pigment in the pavers that over time leaches out and stains the concrete. If I hadn't been planning on retreating the surface with textured paint before I started the project, I would have decided to do something after I saw the concrete.
I had my landscaper remove the pavers, and he knew someone who wanted them and collected them after removal. I also noticed a few of my neighbors who had similarly colored pavers and asked them if they wanted some free spares for the future. Several of them were very happy to pick a few up.
PM me if you would like the name of the man who removed mine.
To VillageTinker's point, I did not have to have any concrete work done by the garage, but I did have to have some done by the curb. It has shown some minor cracking but IMO not a big enough issue that I would have done the whole driveway.
