Given that Wake really started booming in the 70s and that the life expectancy for concrete driveways is 40 years, I suspect that I am not the only person here on C-D in the Triangle facing this issue. While I have done my best to patch my mother's driveway on her 1974 home, it's really time to rip it out and install a new one.
Does anyone have any suggestions and experiences to share? I am particularly interested to know how much this might cost. For context, this is an ~50ft driveway to a one car garage with a side parking pad in a typical north Raleigh neighborhood.
We had several people in our neighborhood who chose to get their driveways plowed last year. Driveways that were only 3-4 years old were damaged. A couple of those homeowner's decided to fix the concrete by replacing the entire driveway.

Figure on $6000+.
And, finding a contractor who will prep, pour, and finish properly is the challenge.
Why not? 50' isn't THAT long. A jack hammer and/or skid steer will make short work of it...
That's not going to happen. I can assure you.
