Lifting Sunken Concrete Driveway Pads

The options? (1) remove and replace the sunken and cracked concrete pad for an estimated cost of $6,000 (I got three estimates), (2) lift the broken pads at a cost of $2,500, (3) do nothing and hope that no one gets injured. Easy decision, don't you think?
Why repair? (1) Prevent possible injury from tripping, (2) stop the continued sinking and cracking of the concrete pads, and (3) improve the look of the driveway.
I had tripped on the raised edge separating two concrete driveway pads while getting out of the car several times since we purchased this 40-year-old house, and I was concerned for the safety of myself, my wife, our friends, visitors and elderly members of our family (my father is 94).

all seems really expensive. where i am you could have the concrete delivered for $500 which is more than you need for this but thats the minimum order and you could buy or rent all the tools you need for $100 at it only being 3 inchs thick you could bust the old slab out with a sledge hammer in a few hours or spend 60 bucks and rent a saw and cut it up in to manageable squares. so if someone quoted me $6000 I'd laugh in there face. which is well over 5000 in labor for what anyone could do in a weekend if not a day. say a crew of 3 men that done this work daily 5 hours would be a long time for them to finish this .

The issue with sinking to that degree has more to do with settlement of the subsurface, the best way to keep concrete from cracking are joints and even that isn't fool proof.

Highly recommend good eye protection. Had a friend lose his eye when an epoxy mix popped back on him just like that mix is doing coming out of those holes. Everything he went through was an utter nightmare. It happened on a roof of a building with a suicide ladder. He passed out from the pain several times as the other guys on the crew where trying to get him down and rush to the hospital. This epoxy also heated up when mixed. So his eye was being chemically cooked. He went through a couple surgeries to try to save his eye, but in the end he told them to take it out. He couldn't handle the pain any longer. It was also his good eye. They say that it puts a lot of stress on the eye he has left and he will go legally blind in a few years.
