You don't really need rectified. Unless you're going to mud set it and install it dead nuts level you're still going to use grout. Whatever kind of grout you use, make it black. It'll be that way soon anyway. Be sure to check the specs on the thinset you use to ensure it's PSI rating.

We have recently done a few car dealerships. If you want something that won't flake up and is super durable, look into terrazzo. You can find it relatively cheap these days. You can have it poured pretty thin these days and run it up the wall about 4" and make your garage floor watertight. It's a forever floor. Having it polished and sealed is a good option as well. Any floor that will last more than a few years is expensive compared to the DIY applications.
