I would suggest that you place a thermometer in your garage and monitor the garage and the outside temperatures. Also, if you do install a fan in the ceiling, it will need to have a fire damper to maintain a fire and smoke separation between the garage and the attic to comply with the building code and prevent a fire from spreading.
The temperature in the attic can reach 140F doubt your garage ever gets that hot.
