A roller assembly for an automatic conveyorized car wash is provided. In preferred embodiments, the roller assembly includes has a body, a tube, and a rod, wherein the rod is affixed to an inner surface of the tube. The assembly further includes at least first and second rollers, wherein the first roller is slid over (and rotates about) the tube, and the second roller is slid over (and rotates about) the rod. Because the rod is offset with respect to the tube, the rollers are as well (i.e., the first roller has an axis of rotation that is offset from the second roller's axis of rotation). This allows the first roller to only touch a first surface (e.g., an upper surface of a track) and the second roller to only touch a second surface (e.g., a vehicle's tire).
