One trick is to find some cast off carpet.  The carpet will insulate the 
concrete so that there will be less condensation.  Refrigerator boxes work, too.

If you have an open attic in your garage you could mount a ceiling fan on a 
timer that will pull down the accumulating heat from the roof down onto the 
concrete which will warm up the concrete and reduce condensation.  This works 
well for me in my detached garage.  But I use a cast off furnace blower.  On a 
timer.  It runs from noon to 5:00 or thereabouts.
